London 2012 Olympics
Teenage archer Alyssia Tromans-Ansell wins world gold
David Broome
Alyssia Tromans-Ansell
STAFFORD schoolgirl Alyssia Tromans-Ansell has added yet another string to her bow after clinching a world-class gold medal and winning a Youth Olympics place for Great Britain.
Archer Alyssia, 16, a student at St Dominic’s Grammar School in Brewood, has a constant battle with a painful medical condition that dashed her dreams of gymnastic stardom – but she is now a shining light at archery.
She has just returned from the World Archery Youth Championships in Rosario, Argentina, where she won the gold medal in a qualifying competition to secure Great Britain a place in the ladies’ cadet section of next year’s Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires.
Alyssia, who lives in Heath Hayes, also stood on the podium to receive a world bronze medal – along with two fellow GB competitors – in the recurve cadet ladies team event of the World Championships. And she came fifth overall in the individual World Championships.
She has triumphed despite suffering from chronic regional pain syndrome, which she developed after suffering a sudden severe allergic reaction during a gymnastics training session six years ago.
Alyssia said she was “over the moon” at winning the quota place for Great Britain at next year’s Youth Olympic Games, adding: “I did it in style as well, winning the overall quota tournament. We’ve got a selection shoot to choose who will take up that place and shoot at the Olympics and I’m hoping I’ll get it.
“I progressed through keeping my nerve in a difficult cut, including matches against not only the Korean number one seed and new world record holder San An but also the Korean number five seed Sohui Park.
“I then met China’s Mengyao Zhang in the gold medal match, winning 7-1.
“Overall I have had an amazing trip, have made many new friends and have enjoyed having the opportunity to spend time with my old friends too. I can bring home a wealth of new experience and many fabulous memories.”
Alyssia praised the support of GB coach, Naomi Folkard, her coach at Lichfield Archery Club Harry Heeley and St Dominic’s Grammar School, where staff provide extra support so that she can juggle her elite sport commitments with continually achieving high academic grades as she prepares to take her GCSEs in 2018.
Mum Sharon said: “Again, Alyssia has shown gutsy determination and has done St Dominic’s Grammar School proud. She is a true Dominican. And we can’t thank the school staff enough for accommodating Alyssia’s international sport and allowing her to represent Great Britain.”
Alyssia was a high achiever at gymnastics when she suffered the allergic reaction that led to her developing chronic regional pain syndrome, affecting her ankles and knees.
She had to spend a year on crutches and take strong medication to combat the bone pain.
Although it put paid to her budding success in gymnastics – which had seen her achieve a bronze medal at the West Midlands regional championships in 2011 – Alyssia refused to be beaten.
After an intense pain management course at Birmingham Children’s Hospital, she managed to walk again – and, although gymnastics was out of the question, she resolved to take up archery.
She trains six days a week as part of Archery GB Confirmation Academy at Lilleshall National Sports Centre and at her club, Lichfield Archers.
She uses a “recurve” bow – as seen in the Olympics – and has to complete strength and conditioning programmes set by her personal trainer and follow dietary advice from a nutritionist.
Louise Hovland, head of sport at St Dominic’s, donates her office for Alyssia to use as a makeshift gym at morning and lunch breaks.
She said: “I have watched Alyssia grow as a person since she took up archery and have said to her, since she has been competing, that I have no doubt I will see her at the Tokyo Olympics.”

Home Education Graduate Biochemistry and Cell Biology M.S.
The Biochemistry and Cell Biology (BCB) Master of Science Program
The Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology offers a graduate program for the Master of Science degree. This ~1.5 year MS program is designed to prepare students for careers in research, teaching, biotechnology, or further advanced studies in health and life sciences. Our pool of faculty represents diverse research interests spanning biochemistry, genetics, cell, molecular, and structural biology. In the six years since its inception, 65 students graduated (65/67 who were admitted). Of these 65 students, 48 students (74%) have continued in BCB/health science related careers. 28 students have gone on to Ph.D. programs at excellent institutions including Johns Hopkins, the University of Indiana, Stony Brook, Cornell, Einstein, Mt. Sinai, and New York University; 10 students went to Medical, Dental or Vet school; 12 students are working as laboratory technicians at places such a Stony Brook University, Cold Spring Harbor, Rockefeller, and Washington University at St. Louis. One student is a regulatory lawyer for the FDA in Washington, DC.
Students will be exposed to biochemistry and molecular biology related research activities, including theory and practice culminating with the MS degree. Core concepts and skills are taught through a series of required core courses, with the remaining coursework consisting of advanced electives and special topics courses selected in consultation with the student's advisory committee. A total of at least 30 graduate credits with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater are required for the MS degree. Of this, 24 credits must be earned in core courses in biochemistry, cellular biology, and molecular genetics as well as courses aimed at exposing students to laboratory research, literature-based research, and advanced methods in biochemistry and cell biology. The remaining 6 credits may be selected from elective courses, special seminar courses, and courses in experimental design, data analysis and laboratory techniques.
Flexibility exists to suit individual student needs and career ambitions. Both research-based and literature-based thesis options are available, and can be completed by full-time students in three semesters. Part-time options are available, although it is expected that all students will complete the degree within a three-year period. All students are required to complete a one semester 4 credit research practicum, in which students will be introduced to modern biochemical and cell biological research techniques through participation in ongoing research in the laboratory of a Biochemistry and Cell Biology or associated faculty member. For the MS degree, at least 3 additional credits of research performed in a laboratory or on critical evaluation of current literature are also required and these studies will form the basis of a written and orally defended MS.
Your primary advisor for the first year will be the Director of the Program. The Director will meet with you prior to the initial registration for the purposes of planning specific course requirements and helping you decide on laboratory in which to complete your research practicum. The Director will meet with you during each semester to monitor your progress and plan the remaining curriculum.
The Graduate School ( www.grad.sunysb.edu) requires on-line application submission, including letters of recommendation. At The Graduate School website you will find an Admissions link to the on-line Application form.
Applications are considered year-round, but all prospective MS students (international and USA) must apply by April 15 for admission to start in the following Fall quarter.
Most students accepted into the BCB MS program have BS or BA degree in a life science related field, with an average of B or better in their undergraduate course work. Research experience in the life sciences is not required but will be considered as a positive indicator that may mitigate a deficiency in the academic record. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required for admission, although a strong performance on this exam can be a positive indicator.
Pre-requisites: Mathematics through one year of calculus, chemistry (including organic chemistry and laboratory), general physics, and one year of biology (including laboratory). It is highly recommended that students will have taken two semesters of biochemistry, and one semester each of genetics, cell biology, physical chemistry, and English composition. Students accepted into the program without a pre-requisite may be asked to take the appropriate upper level undergraduate course prior to undertaking specific graduate level courses.
Personal Statement: What would you consider your special qualifications to be? What do you propose to do with your advanced degree, professionally? Discuss briefly your experience in biochemistry and cell biology outside the classroom.
Letter of recommendation: Three letters of recommendation from people who can evaluate the applicant's potential for graduate work and independent research.
International Students: A proficiency in the English language is required. If your native or primary language is not English, you must take an English proficiency test. To be considered for admission, an applicant must present an acceptable score on the TOEFL or IELTS test. IELTS: Overall score of 6.5 with no subsection below 6. TOEFL: Paper-based test: 550; computer based test: 213; or Internet-based test: 90. Under special circumstances, lower scores may be considered.

When is the application deadline?
All prospective MS students (International and USA) must apply by April 15 for admission to start in the following Fall quarter (no Spring admission is available).
What research opportunities are available?
On the website (http://www.stonybrook.edu/biochem/graduate/bcb.html ) there is a link to "People", which lists the BCB MS members & their research interests. These are potential labs in which a student may be able to pursue research. Flexibility exists and students may do research in labs outside this list as long as the project falls broadly under the category of biochemistry and cell biology.
What financial assistance or scholarships are available?
Unfortunately, we currently cannot provide financial aid. There are no tuition waivers or TA lines, though there have been part time lab assistant-ships available through Stony Brooks Undergraduate Biology Program. In general, these are not sufficient to cover tuition costs.
What opportunities are available for under-represented minority students?
Loads. For example, several of our graduate students have successfully obtained NSF Bridges to Doctorate fellowships ($30,000 for two years). For more information and opportunities, see the Center for Inclusive Education web page (http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/cie/)
If a student has a GPA lower than 3.0, is it possible for them to be admitted into the GraduateProgram?
The Admissions Committee examines all aspects of each application, and a low GPA may be mitigated by other strengths of the application. However, this cannot be determined in advance without seeing the student’s entire application.
How many BCB MS students are accepted per year?
In 2012, there were ~120 applicants and ~15 were offered admission. 14 out of the 15 accepted our offer.
Is the GRE required for admission to the BCB MS Program?
The GRE is NOT required for admission; however, a strong performance on this exam can be a positive indicator. For foreign applicants, the TOEFL is required. We do not offer “conditional” acceptance.
Can the masters program be completed in a year?
The program is designed to be completed in three (3) semesters, but it is possible to do it in two (2), with completion of the thesis over the summer. However, to do so in an accelerated manner woulddemand that you enter the program with a very strong foundation in Biochemistry & Cell Biology.
Who can I contact with general questions about the graduate program?
Contact the Graduate School. A listing of degree programs where you may find contact information is located at http://www.grad.stonybrook.edu/ (select Biochemistry & Cell Biology under the Masters program). If you are checking on the status of your application and/or materials received, log in to your Application account at https://app.applyyourself.com/?id)=sunysb-gs. You will need your pin # and password to access your information. You may also find answers to your admissions questions on the Graduate School FAQ page at http://www.grad.sunysb.edu/admissions/faq.shtml.
Here are my GPA, GRE and TOEFL scores; does this meet the program requirements?
Without seeing your entire application, we cannot tell you for certain whether or not you will be admitted. Details about the program requirements, deadlines and how to apply can be found on our webpage: http://www.stonybrook.edu/biochem/graduate/bcb.html.
What is the requirement for each part of TOEFL?
All foreign graduate students must score a minimum of 90.
Should I contact individual faculty before submitting my application?
Do not contact individual faculty before admission. There is no point because students must first apply and be admitted to the program. However, after you are admitted, we encourage you to contact faculty that you may be interested in working with.
What type of flexibility does the program have to accommodate a full time career?
The biggest potential conflict for a 9-5 job is that most of the required courses are scheduled during the day. Therefore, students that are also employed must have the job flexibility to attend these required courses. With regard to the length of the degree program, sample study programs listed on our web page are designed to be completed in three semesters, but can be stretched out up to six semesters.
I am a permanent US resident, does that mean my tuition fees will be lower than international students?
The URL that contains a current breakdown of tuition and costs for resident and out of state graduate students is: http://www.stonybrook.edu/bursar/tuition/grad.shtml
I want to re-apply to the university this year, but am unable to start a new application or edit the previous application. What do I do?
Contact ApplyYourself. There is a technical support link that you can use.
Are my GRE & TOEFL scores competitive enough for admission?
TOEFL scores may not be below 90. The Admissions Committee examines all aspects of each application, and a low GRE may be mitigated by other strengths of the application. However, this cannot be determined in advance without seeing the student’s entire application.
Can a student get admission into the masters program if they've graduated with another degree?
Yes, but preference will be given to students that have not completed an MS in another Biochemistry or related field.
I would like to apply for my MS degree in BCB and I am also interested in pursuing a Ph.D. at Stony Brook (MCB, BSB or MGM). If I were to apply to the MS program for the upcoming fall and after a semester (or full year) I decide I would like to obtain my Ph.D., would that be a doable transition? Would any of the completed MS coursework be applicable/transferable towards a PhD?
Our BCB MS students take the same courses that our Ph.D. students are required to take, so all courses would be transferable. However, admission to the PhD programs is not automatic. MS students must apply and be admitted into the Ph.D. program.
How many credits do I need to keep my student status?
What undergraduate classes should be taken to prepare a student for a BCB MS graduate course load?
Cell Biology, Genetics, and Biochemistry (I and II)
Where on campus do Masters students usually live?
Graduate housing may be available. Contact the Graduate school to apply for on campus housing.
Can the language proficiency test for International Students who have or will graduate from an English speaking institution be waived?
If an International student has received an UG degree from an English-speaking institution, or has successfully obtained a graduate degree from an English-speaking institution, the department can request a waiver. To ensure the email comes from the corresponding graduate program director, send the email and cc the graduate program director on the email correspondence. Clearly indicate what qualifies the student to be exempt from the proficiency test. The request will be reviewed and responded to via email.
Will the department offer conditional acceptance for those applicants who do not fulfill the English proficiency (TOEFL) requirement?
What if I submitted an application to the BCB MS program in the past, and want to apply again?
The Graduate School will allow an applicant to reapply to the same program within a year. However, the applicant cannot alter any portion of their application - he/she must use the one on file. If he/she chooses to update any information, a new pin and application must be created.
Do International students need to use the WES services to process their transcripts before sending them to us?
Can a student sit in on a class that they are not registered for?
Auditing a class requires prior permission from the instructor first; not all instructors allow students to audit their courses.
If I have taken equivalent graduate courses, how many grad credits can be transferred and applied towards my MS degree?
12 credits can be transferred (as per Grad School rules). Contact the Graduate school as this rule may vary from year to year.
Where can I go for more questions about graduate school?
The Career Center website has loads of information (http://career.stonybrook.edu). Once on the website, click on Students tab on top of page, then click on Graduate & Professional Schools. At the top of the page are 3 tabs, Contemplating, Exploring & Focusing and Preparing & Applying (probably most helpful). Check out the whole website though.

Filming at Stradey Castle
Stradey Castle is a popular film location situated close to Swansea and about an hour’s drive from Cardiff. The Gothic Revival House, set in a secluded location on the outskirts of Llanelli, is still privately owned and occupied by the family who built it in the 1850’s.
The house, which includes a tower and extensive basement, offers a wide variety of both grand and ‘edgy’ spaces. It is surrounded by a formal garden terrace looking across 70 acres of parkland to the sea and a large woodland garden with both a river and small lake. There are also a number of farm and estate buildings (early 19th century), one of which still contains its original water wheel.
In recent years the following films have been shot here:

Facebook redefines shopping experience with social e-commerce
When it comes to Facebook’s 500 million users, the question on everybody’s mind is: how can we harness the power of these numbers into a money making platform?
And it seems that analysts and e-commerce sites aren’t the only people looking towards Facebook with big dollar signs in their eyes – even Facebook itself is looking.
As the online shopping experience becomes more social, many businesses and e-commerce store fronts are looking for new ways to engage consumers torally them around a brand.
Now, it’s Facebook’s turn to rally.
The popular social networking site is hoping to complete the symbiotic relationship by integrating e-commerce directly into its mega social platform with new analytical tools and shopping features.
By adding e-commerce features to both attract and convert users, Facebook believes it may be able to create a new kind of shopping experience.
Hiring David Fisch to run the newly formed commerce partnerships group at Facebook, the goal is to help move the site towards a social networking / e-commerce hybrid.
Working with over twenty companies in the past month, Fisch and team in Palo Alto has been enticing e-commerce giants like Delta and J.C. Penny to use Facebook as an e-commerce platform much like they would sell goods on Amazon or Ebay.
Still, many analysts argue that Facebook in its “purest” form is not ready for e-commerce gold. The question that remains is how it can reward customers and prompt them to shop through Facebook rather than on company sites directly.
“It’s not natural to go to Facebook to shop-yet,” says Sucharita Mulpuru, an analyst at Forrester Research (FORR), “But it’s not a long step.”
Businesses clearly recognize the power of Facebook, with more than half of the top 25 retail sites like eBay and Amazon linking their sites using the “connect with Facebook” feature.
That means when a user signs into the sites with Facebook, the sites will form a list of recommendations based on the user’s movie and music “like.”
Even if a site isn’t offering connection through Facebook, maybe of them are incorporating the “like” feature so shoppers can share products on FB or other social networks like Twitter.
In essence, the goal isn’t to turn Facebook entirely into an e-commerce platform. The idea is to keep it social, while integrating new shopping features. Facebook hopes to create shopping features that let users get both advice and product reviews from friends in real-time.
That could mean gathering advice on Facebook while shopping on other sites, bringing the social networking site to new heights.
Facebook will continue to pull marketing information from “likes,” giving retailers a deeper look into a user’s shopping habits with built-in analytical tools.
As far as payment goes, FB currently allows gamers to purchase currency within the games that equate with real dollars but “has no plans” to let consumers use credit cards to buy physical products. This could either change down the line or become a major barrier to entry into the e-commerce space.
“It’s estimated that in three to five years, 10 to 15 percent of total consumer spending in developed countries may go through social networking sites like Facebook. There’s money in this for all of the players involved,” said Mike Fauscette, an analyst at research firm IDC in Framingham, Massachusetts.
Although Facebook’s e-commerce integration is still in the preliminary stages of development, the direction is clear.
With a growing trend in sociability and sharing on almost every e-commerce website, Facebook seems to be at the epicenter of this world. It would be silly for the company not to tap into its ridiculously huge user base and to give businesses a platform for selling, which would ultimately be beneficial for both Facebook and e-commerce.

What is the optimum size for a general teaching space for 30 pupils?
Venue: RICS, Great George Street, London, SW1P 3AD
Time; 7.45 - 10.15am
Building Bulletin 103: Area Guidelines for Mainstream Schools sets out "simple, non-statutory area guidelines for both overall categories of space and individual types of spaces and includes graphs and formulae to show the recommended area ranges of these spaces for school buildings". A minimum of 55m2 for 30 pupils has been set for a junior classroom and general teaching space at secondary level, with a maximum of 62m2.
There is also a statement which says that these spaces should provide "sufficient room for wheelchair users and assistants".
Come and join us as our panel of experts discuss whether these sizes are adequate for 21st Century learning:
What is the background to these minimum & maximum sizes and is there an optimum?
What evidence is there to support these class sizes & what evidence is being collected to validate this?
What impact does acoustics, daylighting and ventilation have on the size and shape of the spaces?
Can these space sizes really support the inclusion of teaching assistants, carers and students with special educational needs
Are these sizes adaptable for flexible teaching and learning styles?

Inver Lodge relaunches as independent property
03 April 2019 by Katherine Price
Inver Lodge reopened this week as an independent property no longer under the management of Inverlochy Castle Management International (ICMI).
After closing over the winter for five months the 21-bedroom hotel in Sutherland reopened on Monday having dropped the management company after 10 years and revealed a new, more informal restaurant would replace Chez Roux.
Speaking to The Caterer, general manager Janet Boyd, who joined the property last year, said: "It's been 10 years, it's time for a change, time to see what's the next level we can take Inver Lodge to."
The property has been owned by the Vestey family for 30 years and was home to the first Chez Roux restaurant, Albert Roux's brasserie concept which opened at the hotel in 2010.
Patryk Stanalowski, who has been with the hotel for four years, will remain to oversee the new food and beverage concept, which will simply be known as Inver Lodge restaurant. It will focus on local, seasonal produce, particularly seafood, fish, venison and meat from the estate or Donald Russell butcher in Aberdeenshire.
"We had a very, very formal style of dining, which just doesn't sit in with being up in the Highlands. You want a nice big plate of food when you come home at the end of the day after hillwalking or birdwatching or fishing, and that's what we want to bring back again… It really is about going back to basics."
The restaurant and hotel have undergone slight aesthetic improvements, such as local artwork planned for display in the restaurant, but Boyd added: "We are not going to change it too much."
ICMI manages 10 hotels in Scotland including Inverlochy Castle in Fort William and Andy Murray's hotel Cromlix in Dunblane.

Musings from the neutral corner
Anything and Everything Else
Category: Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Posted on 30th November 2018 1st December 2018
The Finger Post Boxing: Remembering the day Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought in Albuquerque
The Finger Post Boxing (November 30, 2018)
I’ve covered fights all across the globe and have sat ringside for some of the biggest fights in boxing history…but I think every boxing writer laments the one that got away. And for me that was the night of May 26, 2001.
I was just kicking off my career as a freelance boxing writer in Michigan. I had submitted some material to a few smaller boxing websites and was 11 days away from covering my first fight card for Fightnews.com: a club show in a VFW hall in Durand, Michigan. (for the record, Fightnews didn’t end up posting it, my first published fight report was from a show in Washington D.C.).
But even if I wasn’t a boxing writer at that point I was still a fight fan, which makes May 26, 2001 inexcusable.
That was the day that “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather Jr. defended his WBC Super Featherweight title in Grand Rapids, Michigan against Carlos Hernandez of Argentina. I don’t know why I didn’t make the drive out from Flint to Grand Rapids to see that fight. Floyd was already established as one of boxing’s best champions and although he would dominate Hernandez it would prove to be a historic night: the only knockdown of Mayweather’s career (for the record it wasn’t much of a knockdown).
I would go on to see Mayweather in action in the future…April 8, 2006, when he won a decision over Zab Judah in Las Vegas. But by then Mayweather was a superstar. In Grand Rapids he wasn’t the most recognizable fighter on the planet yet. Hell, he wasn’t even the most recognizable fighter in Michigan yet. He was talented…we all saw it. But somehow that talent wasn’t enough to motivate me to drive one and a half hours to see him in action live.
I guess I just didn’t appreciate how close to greatness I was back on May 26, 2001. And I guess that is why I often pay special attention to those four round fights on the undercard. You never know if that 3-0 kid on the undercard might just be something special. Admittedly they are usually in against a softer touch…but how many of you would say you wouldn’t drive up to Albuquerque to have seen a young Floyd Mayweather Jr. in action, even if it was against a journeyman? Sure the fight featuring that young prospect ends up being pretty lopsided, but you still get to see a young prospect in action…and sometimes that young prospect turns out to be something really, really special. You see the flashes of brilliance…and sometimes you even get to see the rough edges that you know will be polished out before he fights for his first world title.
Yeah, I may have May 26, 2001 as my missed opportunity to see greatness rising…but I am not alone. Just about every fight fan in New Mexico has a date they also have to carry with them: November 30, 1996. 22-years ago to the day.
Because on that day Floyd Mayweather came to Albuquerque.
In an ESPN televised fight card featuring then WBO Super Flyweight champion Johnny Tapia in a title defense, Floyd Mayweather Jr. stopped by for a four round clash with a little know journeyman from Indiana named Reggie Sanders. And if you are a fight fans from New Mexico who for whatever reason didn’t go to the Tingley Coliseum on November 30, 1996 then watching the fight now on YouTube will be painful. You will see hundreds of empty seats all around the ring. Sure we didn’t know that Floyd would become “Money” but it doesn’t change the fact that you missed this golden opportunity. You missed a chance to see an all time great in his only fight in New Mexico.
Empty seats…as far as the eye can see.
And interestingly enough, even though the matchup wasn’t exactly a major test for Mayweather, history was made that night at the Tingley Coliseum. Floyd Mayweather Jr. was taken the distance for the first time. Reggie Sanders was able to last the four-round distance with Mayweather and although judges Levi Martinez and William Gantt had Mayweather winning 40-36, one judge (Sandy Pino, a familiar face to fight fans in New Mexico) actually had Sanders winning one round and scored the fight 39-37. So another bit of boxing history occurred in Albuquerque 22-years ago today and New Mexico fight fans in attendance were able to witness it.
Albuquerque saw the first round Floyd Mayweather Jr. would lose as a professional.
Admittedly a lot of fans were probably not paying much attention to the then young boxer from Grand Rapids who was fighting as a professional for only the second time in his career. But those who did…well, they witnessed history in the making. They saw the Beatles with Pete Best on the drums. They saw Michael Jordan playing basketball in college. They saw a young Floyd Mayweather Jr. go the distance for the first time ever. And who knows, maybe they even realized they were watching something special.
There is a fight coming up this weekend in Albuquerque, and although I won’t claim that any of the fighters on that card will become the next Floyd Mayweather Jr. I have to admit…back in 2001 I didn’t think Floyd Mayweather Jr. would become the next Floyd Mayweather Jr. So what do I know? Maybe you shouldn’t take my word for it and you should head down to the Manuel Lujan Building in Albuquerque Saturday night just to make sure you don’t miss something special. A week after that show boxing will head to to Odessa, Texas where a pair of undefeated fighters in Desmond Hill and Abel Mendoza are slated to fight in two separate fights at the Ector County Coliseum. Are either of them the next Canelo Alvarez or Manny Pacquiao? Most people would say no. But those are the same people who didn’t buy these five empty ringside seats for Canelo Alvarez fight agaist Raul Pinzon in Miami back in 2008. Don’t be the five guys not sitting in those seats on Saturday in Albuquerque or on December 8 in Odessa.
If you are still not sure if you want to go to the fights this weekend just take a long, hard look at those five empty chairs and think about all the money you’ve spent on Canelo PPVs
And for those of you who missed Albuquerque’s brush with greatness on November 30th, 1996…for those fight fans in New Mexico who were old enough to have gone to that fight card at the Tingley Coliseum and for whatever reason didn’t…
Well, all I can say is I feel your pain.

We Are All Diseased
I seem to suffer from this disease. As always, I might be completely mistaken. But -- to phrase it like a man of science for once -- all available facts lead to the undeniable conclusion that the probability of me suffering from this disease is quite high. You know what? I think you suffer from this disease too. In fact, I think most people I have encountered in life suffer from it. If all normal people suffer from a disease, is it even a disease anymore? Would it be an "abnormal" condition, as diseases ought to be? But I am getting ahead of myself here. Who am I to conclude that you suffer from this condition? You would never concede the fact. You would deny it outright. All I can be sure of, if one can be sure of things, is that I suffer from it. For all I know, you don't. Or do you? Do you, like me, suffer from the disease of Inconsistency?
Inconsistency would not be such a worrying thing, if not for the human tendency to look for consistency everywhere. We look for identifiable patterns, and try to fit things into them. As soon as we sense a compromise to the pattern, we work hard to set it right. But grant things a glance that is more than cursory, and you will realize that there are no patterns. Early last month, I temporarily gave up my watching-sports-takes-lot-of-time-so-dont-watch policy by watching a couple of matches. The second match I watched was the Wimbledon final, where Federer and Djokovic battled for the throne. I almost gave up my dinner to watch Federer show a glimpse of his much-talked-about old self (I haven't seen much Tennis). Whilst Federer was playing like a spectator-magnet, Djokovic was just there, just good enough, and almost lucky to hold on to the match. As soon as the match was over, there was a barrage of opinions, most of which spoke about Federer. I wondered why, for despite the fact that I had myself felt Federer had been the better player that day, Djokovic had won. He managed to stick it out when things were bad, and made most of the opportunities he got. Isn't that what Tennis is all about : winning? How would it feel to be Djokovic, to win and to still fend of questions about his opponent? In an otherwise Utilitarian World, where the end justifies the means, why were we attracted more towards Federer, instead of Djoker (I am obviously discounting past records, and talking about the particular match)?
Just a day before, I had watched my first sports match in a long, long time. MCC XI vs Rest of the World XI boasted so many big names that I had been waiting in anticipation for long. Sachin, Lara, Warne, Murali, and most importantly -- Rahul Dravid. My fandom of Rahul Dravid was such that I gave up watching cricket when he stopped playing. All my wait for one more innings from him turned out anti-climatically, as he out was out bowled the first ball he faced. The much-acclaimed wall had his defense broken. That's all right, I told myself, and recalled all the good memories he had given me. With Rahul Dravid, the method of scoring runs was more important that the runs themselves. If runs were more important, I had argued numerous times with friends, I would rather watch a fast-ticking scoreboard. If runs are the only thing that is important, watching a couple of kids playing book cricket would be much more engaging. My firm belief was that the means justify the end, and not the other way round. Where was the consistency?
The first thing I learnt about a corporate environment is that people are seldom concerned with how you do things, as long as you get them done. Why should we evaluate people from the cini-industry any differently? After all, a cinema is usually a commercial product that aims to make money; a fact that only a few directors (like Vetrimaran) admit frankly. So, when a Kamal Hassan talks about how long he had to wear an unnecessary make-up, or someone praises director Bala for his authenticity in making a movie, I quickly dismiss it as humbug. Yet, when I see a movie like Rope (Alfred Hitchcock), I can't help wonder about the logistic hurdles that had to be surpassed in shooting it. Take this scene by Tarkovskey from a movie that I am yet to watch. There is not much that is engaging about this scene, but it never stops fascinating me. How could they have calculated the exact time that would take for the mansion to burn, and time the shot perfectly? But why am I so worried about how the shot was made, instead of how it looks in the end? You see the inconsistency in me?
I could go on and on about my inconsistencies, but I guess I have made my point. Let's talk about you a little. You, as in the general public, and not the individual you. When Preity Zinta accused her (former) boyfriend Ness Wadia of abusing her, you questioned the fact the he was after all her boyfriend. "Why had she been silent all this time, and choose to accuse him now?", you asked. You didn't factor in the possibility that she just changed her mind about him, that she could be inconsistent. When politician actress-turned-Nagma slapped a guy for molesting her in public, questions were raised about her selective outrage. The fact that she could choose to be inconsistent in deciding what is okay for her did not occur to some of you.
Have you ever tried changing yourselves, for good or for bad? You are invariably met with resistance from people who expect you to behave a certain way. Ask a smoker who is trying to quit when he still has smoker friends. Things could be easier if only we embrace the fact that we are inconsistent, that we do not fit into patterns, that we could not be studied, and that our reactions could not be predicted. Sartre deals with this profound concept in his beautiful novel, The Age of Reason. Alas, his protagonist Mathieu gets trapped into a pattern of trying not to be fit into any pattern. Once again, we get to see that Socrates was wrong, that there is a vast gap between knowing the right thing to do and doing it. But knowing is a first step. Let us at least recognize that we are bound to be inconsistent.

Longboat Hall
OWEN PALLETT – Sold out
In Conflict is full of love songs – more specifically, songs about liminal states and our loved ones locked in battle with them.
“The record is meant to approach ‘insanity’ in a positive way,” Owen says – emphasis on the ironizing scare quotes around singular notions of insanity. “Depression, addiction, gender trouble, and the creative state are presented as positive, loveable, empathetic ways of being. Not preferable, per se, but all as equal, valid positions that we experience, which make us human.”
The songs are pretty but deeply unnerving – they cause discomfort in sensuous & seductive ways. While made with the rigor of a classicist, this isn’t classical music or even indie-classical music. Pallett is not just “approved of” by Establishment Art Music people (though he is) – he is also beloved for his accessibility; for the way his art reflects & resonates with Mainstream Pop Culture; for the emotionally cathartic outlet his music provides.
In Conflict comes after several years of collaborative work – Owen recently composed music on commission for London’s Barbican, The National Ballet of Canada, and Anonymous 4; contributed arrangements to twenty-five records including Pet Shop Boys, R.E.M., Robbie Williams, Taylor Swift, Linkin Park and The National; created music for the video games Portal 2 and Sword & Sworcery; and received an Emmy for his soundtrack to the New York Times Magazine-sponsored Fourteen Actors Acting project, as well as an Oscar-nomination for his work on Spike Jonze’s Her. Beyond all that, Owen continues to be a touring member of Arcade Fire, on synths and viola, and has, of late, recorded a half-dozen soundtracks for art films and performance pieces by directors and ensembles not famous enough to mention here (though Owen himself would be as likely to speak of a Toronto metal band he just finished recording as he would his more high-profile collaborations).
The record is the product of a perfectionist. He made it once in Iceland, chucked it, and made it again in two live-to-tape sessions in Montreal. “Thirty demos were cut down to twenty and then fifteen for the track list. Eight of the songs have been performed live. The earliest of them debuted in 2011. Guest vocalists include several heavenly-bodied women, one best friend and one famous guy.” (Brian Eno’s the famous guy. He sings layered back-up vocals throughout the record, plays synth on “The Riverbed” and guitar on the title track.)
Owen’s lyrics are not poetic in standard ways or personalized in a manner that one can discern individual people. Like the music, the lyrics embrace maniac motion and cool-headed reflection – the immortal haze of life before thirty seen in sharp relief against the hyper-awareness of age that comes after. At the risk of repeating a thought: this isn’t classical music but it is very well-composed. It’s hard to say if anything deserves the designation “timeless,” but In Conflict is singular enough to seem out- of-time, a notion its maker clearly has in mind:
“At five and six / even as a child you felt / the terror of the infinite” — “Song for Five & Six”

Out for Justice (1991)
Action, Crime, Thriller
Steven Seagal, William Forsythe, Jerry Orbach, Jo Champa, Shareen Mitchell, Sal Richards, Gina Gershon, Julianna Margulies
Seagal's a Goodfella after a Badfella
After a day of watching supposedly good movies which only end up disappointing one thing will guarantee to entertain me, that is Steven Seagal. A Steven Seagal movie is nothing special, they work to a formula and in more recent years have often been entertaining for being bad but they do entertain. "Out for Justice" certainly entertains despite being another formula driven movie which whilst serving up a story which sees Seagal's character out for justice after the death of his partner is really more about the bone crunching action than anything else.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Det. Gino Felino (Steven Seagal - Above the Law) knows the streets as he grew up with half of the punks and is respected by the crime bosses who he leaves alone. But that all changes when best friend and partner is gunned down in front of his wife and children by a whacked out hood Richie Madano (William Forsythe - Once Upon a Time in America). Taking matters into his own hands Gino hits the streets and anyone who gets in his way as he goes after Richie, but the local Mob bosses are just as interested in getting to Richie before Gino does.
So the truth is that "Out for Justice" came at a time in Seagal's career when his movies whilst predominantly were about the action also tried to conjure up a reasonable storyline. As such whilst we have this familiar set up of Seagal playing a man looking for justice, or in truth revenge, we also get a bit more storyline to it than Seagal just going from one scene to another beating people up. We have the mystery as to why Bobby was gunned down in such a public manner and also why the local mob bosses want to get Gino first. It's not much but when you compare it to some of Seagal's more recent and totally mindless action movies it helps.
It also helps that in 1991 Seagal was still doing his own action and wasn't over reliant on a body and voice double. In fact back in 1991 Seagal was tall, lean but more muscular than he had been a few years earlier and the action was sharp, admittedly violent but exciting even when highly telegraphed such as when Gino walks into a pool hall full of heavies you know how the scene will play out. And there is just enough action so that whilst some of it is daft, as in a car chase under a Brooklyn bridge, it never just becomes one action scene after another.
But aside from "Out for Justice" being a decent Steven Seagal movie it does little favours for the rest of the cast. William Forsythe spends the entire movie with his eyes shut whilst Jerry Orbach as Gino's Captain is barely in it.
What this all boils down to is that "Out for Justice" is another formula driven Seagal movie but coming early on in his career it benefits not only from a storyline but also Seagal doing his own action.

“Practice Makes Worseness”
Institute of Mentalphysics; Joshua Tree, CA
[October 12-15, 2017]

Oh, the modern music festival. Over the past 10 years, what began as a playground dominated by a few major players has grown into an unruly, overwhelming battlefield, a cavalcade of getaway opportunities powered by high-priced tickets, corporate sponsorships, and a yearly stock-taking of who our favorite bands and nostalgia curiosities of the moment might be. There’s always an undercurrent of utopia when talking about music festivals, and Southern California’s Desert Daze has set out to get as close to the idea of a classic Woodstock-style free-for-all as is possible in this day and age. Taking place over the course of three days at the Institute of Mentalphysics in Joshua Tree, the camper-friendly festival unabashedly goes straight for the moon-gazing, palm-reading style of bohemia that has earned it some comparisons to a Silverlake version of Burning Man.
One’s mileage with the lava-lamp aesthetics certainly may vary, and over the course of my weekend in the desert, I’d be lying if I said that the whole thing didn’t feel more than a little goofy. But for all of the meditation workshops and tie-die boutiques (and the exorbitant ticket/camping costs that out-priced more than a few of my friends who would’ve otherwise come), Desert Daze still did a magnificent job of uncovering the core of what makes music festivals of this ilk so rewarding to attend. The overarching banner of “psychedelic” opened itself up to such an eclectic and exciting collection of performances, that coupled with the good-old fashioned satisfaction of roughing it in the campgrounds under the stars for three nights, made for one of the richest music festival experiences I’ve had.

Rolling in on Friday morning, there wasn’t too much on the schedule I was terribly keen on until later in the day, so we spent our first couple hours just settling into the campgrounds, getting familiar with the layout. One of the remarkable things about Desert Daze is how small the whole thing really is while still having the feel of a major festival. We were parked about as far from the entrance as one could get, and yet it was still only about a 5-10 minute walk to get from there to any of the stages, so we were easily able to meander back and forth to the car for beers (which we were freely allowed to bring in and out of the festival — major), or to throw on warmer clothes as the temperature dropped. The timing couldn’t have been better either, what with the heat waves of summer mostly behind us and the cold desert winter nights yet to come, making for a surprisingly comfy half-warm/half-cool three days.
Before I committed to diving into the music, however, I absolutely had to inspect one of the sillier curiosities of this whole affair: the Mystic Bazaar. Located in the middle of the campgrounds, this huddle of tents not only offered a full marketplace complete with jewelry booths and a massage parlor, but a sizable hut in which various activities were lined up every single day from 8 in the morning to midnight. Peeking through the Bazaar’s schedule was a hoot in its own right, which included such events as “Intro to Energy Healing,” “Mens Sun Circle,” “Plant Activation Meditation,” “Progressive Tarot,” and, of course, “Black Metal Yoga.” To start my day off, I dropped into a class titled “Discover Your God/dess Archetype Through Self Portrait.” It consisted of a group of people painting in a circle, with a session leader who read us a children’s story about the beheading of Medusa. Afterwards, the woman asked us if we had any thoughts about the story, or wanted to share our paintings. A young man from Mexico showed us his drawing of an eyeball, and proceeded to tell us about the first time he took LSD. At one point, the group leader said that these kinds of festivals are a place where people go to realize their own self-mythologies, which struck me as a surprisingly fair assessment.
But enough with the children’s drawings, there was music to go see. Strolling between the three stages, I spent most of the daylight hours inspecting various psych-rock bands, including Austin’s Holy Wave and France’s La Femme, both of which rubbed me as fairly nostalgic retro acts, and served mostly as background music while I explored the festival’s many zone-y art installations. There were crafty VR headsets dangling from a tree, various booths that consisted of miniature mirror halls inside, and all manner of tents lined with pillows and shiny objects that practically screamed for people on drugs to wander into them. The day sort of passed by, and as 6pm approached, I made my way back to the main stage to begin my first major stretch of must-sees.

Boris, as always, were engulfing to behold. As smoke poured forth from the stage in copious amounts, the trio tore through tracks off their new album Dear , alternating between sludgy classic rockers and doom-y fits of distortion. The whole thing was righteous, but the real treat came when the sun finally set halfway through their performance. Now, I’m not an expert on the ways that sound travels differently depending on the time of day, but what I do know is that whether it was due to physics or just the magic of being in the desert at night, once darkness settled, Boris became an absolutely demonic force. The band began to trudge through a deafening, amplifier-destroying take on their new song “The Power,” and as with the last time I had seen them, I was mesmerized at the fraying tones that the three of them were able to wring from their endlessly hanging notes and tastefully deployed gong smashes. Capping it off with a shoegazey version of “Farewell” from Pink , I knew that the weekend was really starting to hit its stride.
From there, we walked over to the Block Stage to catch Panda Bear, who sadly delivered one of the limper sets of the weekend. Whereas the previous times I had seen Noah Lennox felt massive, layered, and focused in their unfolding swaths of sound, his Desert Daze show scanned very much as an in-betweener concert, without much in the way of new (or even old) material. Lennox mainly flirted with vaguely dance-y drum machine beats that were sorely lacking in interesting sounds or even vocals, and by the time he reached “Tropic of Cancer,” his last and arguably best song of the set, we were already ready to move on. Fortunately, Ty Segall was on fire as usual, plowing through songs from across his scattered catalog, executing each one as if he were headlining a greatest-hits tour at Madison Square Garden. Showing plenty of love to his self-titled record from earlier this year, Ty skidded between pop finesse and an almost metal fury, even delving into a full-on extended fusion jam of “Warm Hands,” finding the midway point between Mahavishnu Orchestra and The Stooges. The segue from that 10+ minute prog-out into the sub-2 minute punk explosion of “Pretty Baby” was proof alone of what an incredible, gripping, and multifaceted performer Segall truly is.

Dipping out for a bit to grab our jackets, we returned in time to catch Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile take the main stage, both clad in flannel and performing songs from their collaboration album that had been released that day. Having seen both of them individually in the past, I can say with a degree of authority that Vile’s shtick simply does not translate well in the live arena. His shaggy, bedroom-ready folk-rock just sort of hangs in this middle area of not being particularly slow enough to be gentle, nor fast enough to be energizing, and frankly it was a bit of a bummer to see Barnett sway back and forth with these easy-schmeazy songs knowing how electric her shows can really get. The highlights came when each member took to their own material: Barnett’s “Depreston” was absolutely gorgeous, and Vile’s “Pretty Pimpin’” hit a chugging country-rock groove that invigorated in the way the rest of their set never quite did.
Rounding it out for the night we had Ariel Pink, who, as usual, teetered on a line between being bracingly vulnerable and painfully awkward. Leading his band through glammy cuts from his new album (as well as a couple old favorites like “White Freckles” and “Menopause Man”), Pink by and large appeared showy and composed, a refreshing thing to witness with how meltdown-prone his concerts can be — though the set did contain its share of troubling moments. As has been reported on in his dates since Desert Daze, Pink’s girlfriend Charlotte Ercoli has joined his band for a number of songs on this tour, and though nothing at this show matched the level of line-crossing that apparently happened in San Francisco just one night later, there were points where it seemed to me that Pink was being inappropriate and rough with Ercoli, making her visibly uncomfortable in the middle of the performance. It left a bad taste in my mouth far beyond the usual jerky Pink-isms on display that night (e.g. his constant interruption of band members mid-sentence, something that truly never stops feeling strange no matter how many times I’ve seen him).
With Day 1 in the can, we moseyed back to the campsite to make hot dogs, only to realize that we had forgotten to buy buns and ketchup. We decided to use quesadillas as buns.

As we arose to greet Day 2 of our desert-hippie saga, we were refreshed to find that the campsite was way less rowdy than any of us were used to from our experience at weekend music festivals, with no noise at all past midnight and the morning crowd being seemingly as groggy and slow-paced as we were. Around 9am, we wandered over to the Mystic Bazaar to take part in a “Modular Sound Bath.” Entering the hut, we were pleased to find a huge group of people all sprawled out on the ground, as two ladies with flowers in their hair made drones out of crystal bowls and a bearded man fiddled with a synthesizer. We each found a spot to lie down, soaking in the humming sounds for about 30 minutes in what was possibly the greatest hangover cure I have ever experienced in my life. Refreshed, we cooked up some breakfast, got our bearings, and set off.
Once again, there wasn’t anything particularly pressing on my list until around 6 in the evening, but Saturday’s early lineup proved more varied than the day before. We checked out most of Winter, an L.A. band with a dream-poppy sound that got a nice jolt of energy from frontwoman Samira Winter’s infectiously joyous stage presence. Meanwhile, King Woman took things in the opposite direction, trudging through a procession of gloomy, metallic songs grounded by Kristina Esfandiari’s necromancing vocals. We meandered by the Thurston Moore Group, who basically sounded like Sonic Youth, and decided it was time to start checking out some of these other buildings in the festival grounds to see just what this Institute of Mentalphysics (??) was all about.
There were two separate indoor auditoriums that had been set up with audiovisual installations running throughout each day of the festival, sometimes with performers in them as well. The Sanctuary Hall was pure psychedelia, a massive room with projections running along the walls and ceiling with various lights refracting about the room (we were handed 3D glasses as we walked in), and made for a nice place to lie down and just absorb for a bit. The Noble Hall was a little less intense, featuring a variety of short films and animations from the likes of IHEARTCOMIX, Adult Swim, Brainfeeder, and even Paul Thomas Anderson. There were some tall, tinfoil pyramids inside lined with blankets that we hung out in for a while, until the time came to really kick Day 2 into gear.

Funny enough, Sleep were scheduled at the exact same time that Boris were on the previous day, and they essentially served the same purpose of unleashing night time upon the denizens of Joshua Tree, one billowing riff at a time. The band was performing all of their classic album Holy Mountain that evening, and even though my days of listening to stoner metal are mostly behind me at this point, it must be said that these three guys are absolute fucking monsters live. “From Beyond” flowed from one syrupy chord to the next, playing like some epic hair metal song slowed down to the most crawling pace imaginable, each note luxuriating in its own punishing, resonating overdrive. There’s an undeniable childlike glee at the heart of this music, the same sense of escapism and wonder that powers D&D sessions (and, of course, weekend-long music festivals), only distilled down to an absolutely elemental, encompassing force. The night was off to a great start.
Scurrying over to the Block Stage, we sidled up to see possibly the most legendary artist on this lineup, the wizard himself, Terry Riley. Performing on his keyboard as his son Gyan Riley handled the guitar, the two phased between various passages of beautiful, sparse music that evaded easy description or categorization. The two would occasionally find a loop and sink into it, piling arpeggios atop one another, but often they would just float in a new-agey drift, welcoming atonality into their improvisations, and above all just seeming to enjoy the pure act of playing with one another. It was a delight to behold, though sadly it coincided with my only major scheduling conflict of the weekend, as Avey Tare was playing on the opposite side of the festival. Having managed to catch a Riley performance last year, and being particularly fond of the new Avey Tare album, we left to catch the second half of Dave Portner’s set, which ended up topping Panda Bear’s performance as the best AnCo-related show of the weekend (not something I would’ve expected in years past). Drawing almost entirely from his new album, Portner held the stage down with just an acoustic guitar and some sound pedals, creating an intimate, colorful sway of half-songs that managed to feel both otherworldly and down-to-earth at once. It was simple and moving and stripped of the sonic hubbub of Animal Collective’s recent output, clearing the way for something genuine, emotional, and humble.

At this point, my feet and back were starting to feel the toll of the weekend, so we decided to hang back for a couple hours as we waited for the big headliner of the night, Iggy Pop. Scooting our way up to the front to get a primo slice of the action, Iggy eventually emerged with both middle fingers held high, and before I knew it he had already begun unleashing “I Wanna Be Your Dog” upon us in what was one of the horniest openings to a show that I’ve ever seen. For an hour-and-a-half, every hippie in the crowd transformed into a frothing, savage punk, lifting one another into the air and thrashing about as Iggy wildly flailed his arms and generally held complete command of the audience like some kind of elder gargoyle come to rob every last drop of innocence from the world. “Lust for Life” was pure joy, and as he tore through all the hits one could ask for from a music legend who seems to be bidding the stage goodbye, it was truly an inspiration to see how invigorating a 70-year-old human can still be.
Satisfied, exhausted, but doggedly determined to round out the night, we stumbled down to the Wright Tent to catch the remainder of Tortoise, an act that I thought I would probably never see but whose set was one of the classiest acts of the weekend. The band members took turns on one another’s instruments between songs, with the core of their sound revolving around jazzy vibraphone lines and John McEntire’s flowing drum rhythms, and strangely enough the group actually felt more in line with what an idealized “jam band” might sound like than any other act at this hippie festival. If Ty Segall’s set had reminded me of Mahavishnu Orchestra, these guys were all Return To Forever, mellow to a tee and offering a nice comedown to Iggy’s brute force. Unfortunately, due to either sound issues or a scheduling hiccup, the band stopped playing in the middle of one of their songs, looked around awkwardly, and then told us that apparently they had to stop playing. It was a bit of a shame, though at this point I was fairly ready to turn it in for the day anyways. We headed back to the campsite, and as we walked I noticed a powerful orange light emitting from the Mystic Bazaar tent. I peeked inside to see a group of people strung out and laying across the floor as one woman moaned like a banshee.

Our last day in Joshua Tree held easily the fewest priorities of the weekend, with a few stray early acts I was keen on catching but nothing in the headliner department I was too concerned about. Nevertheless, the day ended up being as rewarding and memorable as either of the previous two from the moment we left our campsite. Our first goalpost of the day was a “Desert Plant Walk,” scheduled to begin in the Mystic Bazaar at 12:30, though unfortunately we arrived a few minutes late just to find the tent full of people engaged in a pre-meditation ceremony that we apparently weren’t privy to. They said they couldn’t take any more people in until the walk began, but at that point the pre-walk circle hum seemed like a crucial component for us to miss out on, so we just decided to bail and get the day rolling.
To give you an idea of what the level of security was like walking from the campground into the music festival, on the third day as we approach the entrance, a security guard turned to us and said, “Alright guys, let me pat you down…JUST KIDDING HAHAHAHAHAHA” and waved us on in. We passed into the Wright Tent, where John Dwyer was DJing old rock and soul cuts. One of the songs he played culminated in a particularly righteous, swelling guitar solo, after which everyone in the crowd applauded, and Dwyer just shrugged and pointed to the record on his turntable. From there we wandered over to the Block Stage, where Drugdealer was capturing a wonderfully breezy, Fleetwood Mac kind of cadence. Weyes Blood was guesting on vocals for a handful of tracks, and the band’s upbeat sound lent itself well to her deep, silvery melodies. As they finished, we wandered over to the Book Nook, a mini-library run by the Stories book store in Echo Park which featured selections from the various acts playing at the festival. One book in particular — Metamagical Themas by Douglas Hofstadter, chosen by Jerry Paper — completely baffled and entranced me, and made me incredibly excited to see Paper’s set later in the day.

Meanwhile, Death Valley Girls were holding down the main stage with a scalding punk energy, with lead singer Bonnie Bloomgarden writhing around and taking pulls of Jack Daniels in between making doomsaying commentary about the dangers of the sun. Their sound managed to be retro without feeling stale, dark without being gloomy, and all around just exhilarating in the way that bands still playing punk music with guitars in 2017 should strive for. On the other side of the grounds, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith was envisioning a whole new sonic landscape, dipping into songs off her new album The Kid that weighed new-age mysticism with layered synth topography. Twisting the knobs on her Buchla synthesizer, her music boomed with a bassy authority that contrasted with its airy, more pastoral wisps of sound, which were made all the more hypnotizing by Smith’s hyper-processed, chanting vocals. During her set, a woman hiding her face in a scarf began loudly clapping her tambourine, and though it actually felt pretty appropriate with the sounds of the music, the people around her became visibly bothered, with one man eventually turning around and asking her to please quiet down. Immediately tearing down her scarf, the woman began screaming, “NO RULES IN THE PIT. NO RULES IN THE PIT,” to the dismay of everybody around her. The man attempted to quiet her down, before eventually giving up; later in the set, during a particularly ambient, formless song, the woman began to howl like a wolf.
We returned to the Block Stage to catch Weyes Blood’s set, which unfortunately didn’t live up to how lovely and smooth her songs with Drugdealer had been. Though Natalie Mering has an undeniable stage presence (aided in no small part by her charismatic banter and terrific choice in power suits), many of her numbers simply trudged along at a morosely slow pace, their cosmic, folky sway becoming a tad too monochrome to stand through for 45 minutes. Though there’s a certain starkness to her music that lends it an atmosphere all its own, I can’t help but feel like her wonderful voice would benefit from a more diverse array of songs.
Laying low for a couple hours, we returned to the tent around nightfall to catch Jerry Paper, who ended up being one of the most exciting acts of the entire weekend. Fully clad in a wonderful, striped tube dress, he pranced about the stage like an amateur karaoke star, his silly dance moves and un-flashy vocals feeling both triumphant and modest all at once. His band was absolutely locked-in too, decorating his songs with excellently cheesy saxophone and cartoony synthesizers that brought his lo-fi pop nuggets to life. It was a juicy spectacle that once again made me thrilled at the open-endedness that the festival’s theme allowed for.
As we reached the home stretch of the weekend, we wandered over to the main stage, where Eagles Of Death Metal had begun their full-throttle boogie assault. Though the group brought an undeniably high energy to their music, their vibe just felt a little bit off from the rest of the festival — people weren’t really moving, and the way frontman Jesse Hughes would take a break in between every single song to deliver a mini-sermon and ask the audience for an “amen,” it felt impossible for me to ignore the general hubris of this band. Knowing that Hughes is the kind of guy who can live through something as horrific as the Bataclan shooting in Paris and still come out as a vocal proponent of the NRA just taints their music, casting their good-time guitars in a much more toxic/boneheaded light. Still, the band delivered a strong cover of “Moonage Daydream,” and the back half of the set consisted largely of lead guitarist Davey Jo taking one endless, fiery guitar solo after another, his enormous beard being outmatched only by his enormous hat.
Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions were up next, and to be completely honest, as someone who’s never been particularly into Mazzy Star or the myriad of bands that have attempted to sound like them over the past 15 years, her set struck me as very boring. The stage was lit all purple, as one would expect, and I took the opportunity to go grab a surprisingly quality Chicken Tikka Masala wrap. We made our way back to the Wright Tent, where GØGGS, the second Ty Segall group of the weekend, were shredding their way through a lighthearted hardcore punk set. Segall took turns bashing away on drums and handling guitar duties, though the real show for me was watching a pumped-up group of teenagers towards the back of the tent joyfully thrashing around with one another and tearing each other’s shirts off. At one point, the group lifted up one of the kids to crowdsurf, only to then accidentally dunk him headfirst into a trashcan, the kid smiling the entire time. It was exactly this kind of heartwarming sight that made it clear to me why this kind of music is still important.
Spiritualized (Photo: Sheva Kafai)
With only two acts left on our lineup, we wandered over to the main stage where Spiritualized had just begun the swaying, bittersweet chant of “Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating in Space,” bringing the whole weekend to a close in a surprisingly graceful fashion. Having not heard anything from the band in some years, their set felt like a warm greeting from an old friend, their rock-band style of psychedelia making for a fitting end to the festival with its colorful touches of elegant piano and gospel-dashed vocals. Jason Pierce’s voice sounded as smoky and classic as ever, and between the slow ramp of “I Think I’m In Love” and the mysterious drift of “Cop Shoot Cop” (complete with 10-minute noise freakout in the middle), the band’s set ended the whole weekend on a calm, yet enveloping note. We caught a few songs from Unknown Mortal Orchestra for good measure, and though the group got into some funky jams (particularly on “Ffunny Ffriends”), their music just doesn’t really sound as good once you strip away the lo-fi production of their records.
And with that, Desert Daze 2017 was in the bag. Looking over my notes, the sheer amount of bands that I had managed see in three days outnumbered almost any other festival I had ever been to, to say nothing of the caliber and variety of performances I had seen. Though there had been no shortage of hammy hippie-isms to test one’s patience for gift-shop mysticism, the whole air of the weekend had been so welcoming and fun, the people we met so friendly, the location too breathtaking to ignore. Desert Daze seems to be hanging on the precipice between blowing up into the next major SoCal festival and maintaining its intimate roots, and it’ll certainly be interesting to see where the festival goes from here. But for now, Desert Daze has proved itself a magical beast in its own right, a unique festival happy to stand apart from the countless other heavy-hitters in the field these days, a lovable lone wolf gazing stoney-eyed into the desert night sky.

The launch of the 2014 Range Rover Sport
Tomorrow, 26th March 2013 at 7.30pm EDT, the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport will be unveiled at the 113th New York Motor Show. In a departure from the traditional way in which cars are launched, Land Rover have drafted in James Bond star Daniel Craig to star in a video advertising campaign that will accompany this. It will conclude with a live-stream movie shot in “secret locations” around Manhattan.
Daniel Craig arrived by Range Rover for the premiere of “Skyfall” last year
A leaked image of the 2014 Range Rover Sport. The vehicle will be available as a 5.0 litre V8, 5.0 litre supercharged V8 and a 3.0 litre supercharged V6.
The rear of the car
Prior to the release of the car, which has a starting price of £55,000, a spokesman for Jaguar Land Rover stated:
“The all-new Range Rover Sport will be driven through the streets of Manhattan in a ground-breaking live event which will preview the new vehicle’s transformed on-road dynamics and unrivaled breadth of capability”.
“Land Rover has also worked with a Hollywood director and production company to create a unique reveal – both to a live audience in New York and via a global online broadcast”.
“The dynamic, fast paced drive will feature the all-new Range Rover Sport – Land Rover’s fastest, most responsive and agile vehicle ever – along with a very special and very British Land Rover ambassador”.
“It is fitting that the event takes place in New York City, as the New York metropolitan area is the largest Range Rover Sport market in the world”.
Separately, images of the new vehicle being prepared for the filming in a workshop have leaked out already. Though Bond’s cover may already have been blown, it’ll be well worth logging in tomorrow to see yet another example of groundbreaking promotional campaign by Land Rover.

Capitol Hill Station Doesn’t Need Any Parking
Ryan Packer
Sound Transit’s Capitol Hill station marks a crucial turning point for the agency. The fruit of years of advocates pressing the agency to more robustly pursue affordable housing around its stations through the land that it has been purchasing through eminent domain, the station will be setting the model for transit-oriented development for the agency for years to come.
This fall, the agency signed a 75-year lease with the Portland developer Gerding Edlen to allow them to develop the parcels directly adjacent to the station. The deal, worth around $25 million, is a great accomplishment in that it keeps the land in public ownership rather than surplussing some of the most desirable land around one of our densest transit stations. Gerding Edlen proposes building five separate buildings on three different sites across the property, with a total of 427 residential units, as well as a substantial chunk of property for retail.
The centerpiece for the project is a central plaza, located on an extension of narrow Nagle Place between Denny Way and John Street, that will function as an extension of Cal Anderson Park and turn the Denny Way festival street into an inviting and active public gathering place.
Concepts around the central plaza. (City of Seattle)
Gerding Edlen has selected Berger Partnership, the designers of Cal Anderson park’s redesign a decade ago, as the landscape architects on the project. The Capitol Hill farmer’s market is already poised to take over the space twice a week, and additional programming is only limited by the imagination. From the Berger Partnership’s website:
The vision of making “20-minute living” a reality informed the team’s design approach and the early design renderings required of Sound Transit’s RFP process. As the light rail station opens and the development is complete it will serve as a nexus of connectivity and community, comprising low income and market rate housing, a dynamic plaza to host the Farmer’s Market, a festival street, retail, and public amenities such as a community center, childcare, and a Market Hall offering small retail spaces for local businesses.
Plaza concept rendering (City of Seattle)
Capitol Hill station is a pedestrian sink. Hundreds of people per hour walk through the station entrances. After nearly a decade of construction around the station area, the Broadway retail district is on the rebound, and Capitol Hill station’s entrances are the pivotal anchor for that district now.
But there is a crucial aspect of the design that is in conflict with the overall goals of the project. The plans call for 334 parking stalls to be constructed underneath the buildings. At the open house, I was told that the current level of residential parking calls for a ratio of 0.5 stalls per unit, or one stall for every two units. This leaves around 120 stalls planned for the retail portion of the development. These figures are not off the charts, but the question remains: if Capitol Hill station is not a place where driving is discouraged, where amenities and housing take priority over money spent on parking spaces, what will be?
Perhaps even more troublesome than the number of stalls themselves, which are similar in number to the stalls at the Broadway Market down the street (300) but with many more units of housing attached, is the number of curb cuts created by the fact that the stalls will be spread out across three separate underground garages, creating conflict zones between pedestrians and vehicles where they might not otherwise exist.
Full site plan for Gerding Edlen’s preferred alternative. (City of Seattle)
The three vehicle entrances (located in site C along Nagle Place, between Site B North and Site B South along 10th Ave E) and the main entrance and loading zone for grocery store traffic (off the Nagle Place extension in Site A) occupy valuable space and encourage traffic on every street bordering the site with the exception of Broadway. Because Broadway is considered a pedestrian overlay area, curb cuts would not be allowed off that street, thankfully.
But John Street will also have high levels of pedestrian traffic, with the eastbound bus stop directly outside the station and the westbound stop planned to be moved directly opposite in the coming years. Pedestrian improvements including new painted crosswalks and curb bulbs at 10th Ave E and (hopefully) an improved signal at Broadway from the First Hill Streetcar extension should reinforce the dominance of the pedestrian mode here. The Nagle Place extension is envisioned as an extension of the pedestrian plaza, with the walkway being treated (as you can see in the image above) in a way that indicates that the area is a mixing zone. Overhanging lights and planters will also contribute to this experience, but constantly entering and exiting car traffic would put the kibosh on this decisively and at best put pedestrians back on the margins.
At the open house last week in advance of the first design review session this week, a Gerding Edlen representative told me that the parking spaces “definitely don’t pencil out”, and that GE is not gung-ho about building them. Let’s set the tone for future transit-oriented-development around Sound Transit properties. Gerding Edlen: eliminate and consolidate some of the parking spaces planned for Capitol Hill station. Future residents of Seattle will thank you.
All of Gerding Edlen’s Capitol Hill station properties go before the design review board this Wednesday at 6:30pm, at the Seattle University Admissions & Alumni Comm Bldg, Stuart T Rolfe Room (824 12th Ave). Interested parties can also submit comments to Garry Papers, the City planner tasked with the project, at garry.papers@seattle.gov.

In general, developers should be able to provide whatever parking they think the market demands. However, since this is capitol hill’s only subway station, built at enormous expense by taxpayers, I do feel like the public ought to get a little more say.
Generally, that section of capitol hill ought to be pedestrian focused and as affordable as possible. Any parking will raise rents significantly. So, arguably parking isn’t in keeping with the neighborhood character.
Maybe they need a small amount of parking for the grocery store (mainly for the staff and deliveries), but they should cut it from the apartments.
Patrick December 12, 2016 at 10:56 pm
I fully support the city decision to eliminate parking requirements. I also support a developer right to include parking at a reasonable ratio if they choose to and as far as I can tell no one is forcing them to provide it, except the market they serve. There are numerous building that have been built near the station with zero parking, having one with some parking will not be the end of Capitol Hill. We are a diverse community with different needs and life styles. Some people live day to day by foot, bike and transit but have a car for getting out of the city. Some people have kids or are old or whatever. I don’t think this is an issue that calls for black or white view. What is a legit call is making sure that auto access to and from the site ensures the safety of bikers and pedestrians.
Mike Carr December 12, 2016 at 11:34 am
Have we seen a drop in parked cars since the Light Rail Station opened?
Josh Lowe December 12, 2016 at 11:36 am
There has been a large drop in car ownership on Capitol Hill. The trend is downward, and access to Car2Go, Reachnow, Uber, Lyft and light rail are all catalysts for this trend.
bambino December 12, 2016 at 11:11 am
The anchor commercial tenant is planned to be a natural foods market, hopefully a co-op. Despite the proximity to transit, some people must still drive to get their groceries home. Lack of parking would eliminate the possibility of a grocery at the station.
There is a big difference in no parking vs limited parking.
RealityCheck December 12, 2016 at 1:40 pm
I’m sympathetic to wanting some car parking for the grocery store, but we should push back on the notion that it’s absolutely necessary. It’s quite common for grocery stores in dense European cities not to have car parking.
There are grocery stores all over North America without parking. You haven’t a clue.
Anthony Hope Marris December 12, 2016 at 6:56 pm
Just want to point out that the half-dozen or so other major grocery retailers in the neighborhood, which include a Co-op and Trader Joes (Central Co-op is 5 minute drive tops) have abundant and free parking. Can we maybe have *one* without adding to the glut?

For the purposes of design review parking or lack their of thankfully does not matter and they will not consider it. It should be brought up in the Master Use Permit/SEPA phase. The thing design review can address is auto access and curb cuts.
Doug T December 12, 2016 at 11:14 pm
The surest way to prevent the curb cuts from disrupting sidewalks is to eliminate the parking ramps in one or both of the smaller buildings, leaving only the larger ramp in site A. Comments could focus on that aspect and remain germane IMHO.
ponchoes December 12, 2016 at 9:51 am
I’m less concerned about the parking for residents, it’s largely going to be car storage and less for daily use (though why spend the huge cost to provide it), but I expect minimal car traffic from residents. What really concerns me is the retail parking which is really going to be intrusive with cars coming in and out of the garage every few seconds especially at rush hour. This will hugely impact Nagle place which is supposed to be a “woonerf” and worst of all, where John Street and Nagle intersect. Cars will be blocking the sidewalk trying to get out especially to see past the busy bus stop in front of the station. Cars will also be cutting in front of the buses to access the garage. This will greatly harm the pedestrian access to the station and the critical bus transfer. And why? Because some retailers with a suburban mentality regarding parking and their customers want to locate at the most urban and transit oriented locations in the Western half of the US.
RDPence December 12, 2016 at 1:23 pm
Little need to fear “cars coming in and out of the garage every few seconds,” in this location. This isn’t Northgate at Christmastime. Auto access here will clearly secondary, and few motorists are dumb enough to make this a rush-hour destination.
Groceries stores are typically busiest at rush hour because people often shop after work. Some people avoid the busy times, others don’t have much choice if they aim to cook dinner at home that night.
If the retail section of the garages have space for 120 cars and we don’t expect it to be heavily used at rush hour–typically the busiest grocery shopping time–why are we building that big?

This is not Beacon Hill, this is Capitol Hill
Lucas December 12, 2016 at 9:44 am
Is GE required to build those spots? If the rep you talked to says they don’t pencil out, why are they building them?
Because there is so much hostility towards parking in the neighborhood from people…even those commenting on this thread. Parking only makes sense to bring in retail tenants but is not required by the City on most parts of Capitol Hill.
Mike Carr December 12, 2016 at 5:23 pm
If you don’t want to park on Capitol Hill then parking spaces are not needed.
Yes, a) does follow b) in your statement
RDPence December 12, 2016 at 7:32 am
Sure, virtually all the tenants in those buildings will be using transit for their daily commute, but many of them will still have an automobile for after-work trips that are too difficult to make any other way. A parking ratio of about 50 percent seems about right.
Josh Lowe December 12, 2016 at 8:29 am
Residents who plan to live on top of a grocery store and subway station will most definitely be the types who do not own cars. Why would we spend $35,000 per stall to continue to subsidize car drivers. There should be far less than 50%, that is antiquated thinking.
Mike Carr December 12, 2016 at 9:52 am
Nobody know who will live in the proposed buildings and nobody knows if they will have 0, 1, or more cars. Having no parking available guarantees their will be no parking available. Streets on Capitol hill will become even harder to find parking. That you can guarantee. Just another way for developers to save on money and make more profit.
You are not in touch with developers costs. Parking hurts the developer and hurts the renter. There are a number of options where you can live and park 2 cars if you would like at other developments. There is no reason we should be subsidizing drivers at the cost of rental prices. The city has removed parking requirements at these locations for a reason.
Donn December 12, 2016 at 8:08 pm
Yes, but some of the reasons are not in the community’s interests, and some of them are simply specious. Particularly the notion of the carless person, as someone you can build to. A couple years ago car dealers were worried that younger generations had abandoned car ownership, but the economy shifted gears a little and their worries evaporated. You can’t assume that someone who moves into a no-parking building will never acquire a car while he or she lives there. If that’s important, you have to make it a requirement. If it’s a key assumption in your parking study that says an N-unit building at a certain location with no parking will have no significant impact, then you have to make it a requirement. I don’t know Capitol Hill, but in the areas in my neighborhood where no parking is required, a development that started out with that in mind was persuaded to have a parking study done, and some parking eventually was added to the design after the study showed, in effect, that the reasons the city has removed parking requirements at this location weren’t entirely valid.
The millenial car buying studies making the rounds in Wallingford are pretty weak. Check out this article for a rebuttal:
http://cityobservatory.org/on-the-road-again-2/.
“Auto industry analysts at the National Automobile Dealer’s Association—who have a very strong stake in the outcome—are pretty glum about sales prospects of the Millennial generation. NADA’s economist Steven Szakaly predicts it will take four Millennials to equal the sales impact of a single Boomer. This is due to a combination of factors, including Millennials’ weaker income and job prospects, and lower propensity to drive and own cars. Its also the case that waiting longer to buy one’s first car means that one is likely to own fewer cars over a lifetime, and as with housing there’s no evidence that young adults are catching up to previous generations as they age.”
We don’t have to require parking in urban neighborhoods. Builders can make their own informed decision and the public–especially when it’s a publicly funded building like this–should speak up to make their case to them, and the winning case here I think is that we are investing too much in cars at the expense of people.
Donn December 13, 2016 at 7:29 am
Maybe I need to clarify what points I intended to make, there.
– I’m not here to make prognostications about who’s going to buy or not buy a car. The point is that “carless person” is not a permanent condition, it’s a result of a lot of transient factors like money, family status, employment and other commitments, etc. People living in your building change.
– The antecedent to “make it a requirement” was “no car” – if you want building standards that assume no car, then you have to enforce “no car”. That would resolve a lot of the conflict over this issue, maybe something to think about?
– Seattle’s null requirement for urban villages does not always stand up to analysis in actual cases. It’s shabby policy for reasons already discussed and because of cheap-o GIS planning that assumes there is such thing as an “urban village” with the same policy issues from one to the next. It may be fine for this part of Capitol Hill.
Bryan Kirschner December 13, 2016 at 1:08 pm
“if you want building standards that assume no car, then you have to enforce “no car”
Hm then all my single family neighbors who don’t have driveways and constantly complain about street parking would have to give up their cars…
I might be able to go for that!
LackThereof December 12, 2016 at 12:18 pm
There are plenty of market-rate privately owned/operated parking garages within an easy walk of the station. Plenty of empty spaces in garages and lots all over the neighborhood; a recent city study put Capitol Hill’s parking utilization under 50%. Renters who want to keep their car close at hand already have the tools to do so, no need to keep adding spaces that the free market does not want.
Bryan Kirschner December 12, 2016 at 12:43 pm
Having no parking stacks the deck quite heavily in favor of future residents self-selecting as people who don’t have cars. It can’t both be true that parking on the Hill without an owned space is really a hassle and people will go out of their way to *pay a premium* to live right on top of a transit space while also having 1 or more cars.
The sweet spot of appeal for a place like this would be folks who want to arbitrage the premium they pay for a prime location in order to reap the savings of not having a car. Making the building carry as little “car cost” as possible opens the door to more folks with lower budgets.
Car2Go, ReachNow, others soon
But they could easily sell/rent all of those units if there was no parking built. It’s just that the people who would choose to live there would be those without cars. Now you’re going to attract car owners to a site that doesn’t need them.

Danish authority allows CFL Cargo and TX Logistik to transport using pocket wagons again
Troisdorf, 16 January 2019 – The Danish regulator
Trafik-, Bygge- og Boligstyrelsen has allowed the Luxembourg rail company CFL Cargo and TX Logistik AG to transport semi-trailers on pocket wagons on the Danish rail network again.
On 14 January, late in the afternoon, approval was granted after examining proof of documentation and processes, jointly filed by CFL Cargo and TX Logistik, for securing semi-trailers on pocket wagons.
As a result of the serious train accident on the Storebælt Bridge on 8 January, Trafik-, Bygge- og Boligstyrelsen banned all rail freight companies from transporting semi-trailers on pocket wagons on the Danish rail network for an initial 14 days. If railway companies can prove that they master safe loading onto pocket wagons, they can, according to the supervisory authority, obtain permission to carry out such transport earlier.
“The documents we submitted have convinced the regulator of the safety of our processes. We are very pleased to be allowed to drive again without restriction”, says Mirko Pahl, CEO of TX Logistik AG. Traffic on the connection between Padborg and Verona has resumed meanwhile.
About TX Logistik AG
TX Logistik was founded in 1999 as a private rail transport company and offers a powerful European network with connections in 11 countries. The company has subsidiaries in Switzerland, Austria, Denmark and Sweden as well as local representation in Italy and the Netherlands. In the Intermodal and Rail Freight business units, TX Logistik develops comprehensive rail solutions for continental and maritime transport as well as tailor-made concepts for conventional freight. With around 500 employees, the company generated annual sales of € 250 million in 2017. Since January 2017, TX Logistik has been wholly owned by Mercitalia Logistics SpA, a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane

PATH Clinic has new home
UAB School of Nursing’s PATH Clinic serves vulnerable populations with diabetes
Alabama ranks first in the nation in prevalence of diabetes. Many underserved or underinsured citizens in the Birmingham community suffer from this disease without access to care. The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Nursing Providing Access to Healthcare (PATH) Clinic , which has been providing high-quality care in an interprofessional clinical setting since 2012, has moved to a new home on the UAB campus.
The PATH clinic, in partnership with UAB Medicine, serves patients recently discharged from UAB Hospital. It is now located in the Medical Towers building (1717 11th Avenue South), a few blocks west of Five Points South, and is open one day each week, Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with plans to open a second clinic day in October.
Formerly located at M-POWER Ministries in the suburb of Avondale, the clinic was funded through a three-year, $1.4 million U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant. When the grant concluded over the summer, UAB Medicine continued its partnership with the school for the clinic, largely due to positive patient outcomes and proven cost savings.
The PATH clinic employs a variety of health care professionals, including nurse practitioners, physicians, dieticians, optometrists and social workers to provide the complete spectrum of care for patients living with diabetes. In addition, students in each discipline have the opportunity to become involved through coursework or clinical placements.
The move not only provides added convenience for patients, it also provides much needed space for clinicians.
“Our new space is much larger and allows our various professionals to really practice together in an interprofessional model,” said Associate Dean Cynthia Selleck, PhD, RN, FAAN.

Vitamin D shows promise for treating Crohn’s disease in pilot study
(June 10, 2015) New research published in this month’s edition of United European Gastroenterology Journal suggests that supplementation with vitamin D may impact on the intestinal barrier dysfunction associated with Crohn’s disease, and could have a role in the treatment of the condition.
The study is by Professor Maria O’Sullivan and Tara Raftery. Department of Clinical Medicine, Trinity Centre for Health Sciences, St. James’s Hospital, Dublin, Ireland.
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a lifelong chronic relapsing and remitting gastrointestinal condition, characterised by inflammation, which can involve any portion of the gastrointestinal tract. CD is associated with abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fatigue and in many cases can result in a reduction of quality of life, time off work, hospitalisations and surgery. The exact causes are unknown; however, immune, genetic and environmental factors are thought to be involved.
Incidence of CD varies across Europe, with up to 10 cases per 100,000 population per year. Generally, case rates are higher in northern and western Europe than southern and eastern Europe.
There is emerging data that Vitamin D supplementation may prolong remission in CD; however, the clinical efficacy and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this new research, the authors aimed to determine changes in gut barrier function (as determined by intestinal permeability and antimicrobial peptide concentrations) as well as disease markers in CD, in response to vitamin D supplementation.
In a double-blind randomised placebo-controlled study, the authors assigned 27 CD patients in remission to 2000 IU/day vitamin D supplementation or placebo for 3 months. They found, that patients treated with the supplementation were more likely to maintain their intestinal permeability, whereas this deteriorated in the placebo group. Increased intestinal permeability is considered a measure of gut leakiness, which is shown to predict and precede clinical relapse in CD. In addition, patients with the highest blood levels of vitamin D had signs of reduced inflammation (measured by C-reactive protein and antimicrobial peptides), and these patients also reported better quality of life.
The authors conclude: “This is the first reporting of effects of vitamin D supplementation on intestinal permeability and antimicrobial peptide measures in a CD cohort. Whilst the data requires further confirmation, it broadly supports evidence from previous experimental studies that suggest a role for vitamin D in maintaining intestinal barrier integrity.” Whilst the data is promising, the authors highlight that in order to understand its translation into treatment for CD, further larger randomised controlled trials will be required.
UEG’s inflammatory bowel disease expert, Dr Charles Murray of the Royal Free Hospital, London, UK comments; “This is an exciting development in the treatment of Crohn’s disease and we welcome anything new that could potentially help patients with this debilitating condition”.

Dwindling Highway Trust Fund? Not if Mayor Pete Has His Way
Pete Buttigieg has outlined his $1 trillion plan for overhauling the nation's infrastructure in a 17-page proposal. (MSNBC via YouTube)
[Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.]
“Over the last four years, politicians in Washington have failed to deliver for the American people” is the claim from the recent infrastructure plan by 2020 presidential aspirant Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind.
With the primaries heating up, Mayor Pete recently presented the public with an ambitious infrastructure proposal that castigates the Trump administration for not “keeping its promise to pass major infrastructure legislation.” To be sure, in 2018 the White House proposed a private sector-centric infrastructure proposal, which did not appeal to the Republican-led House and Senate.
In his 17-page proposal, Buttigieg covers everything from climate change and access to transit to repairing bridges and promoting safety. And similar to President Donald Trump, the mayor opted not to address the thorny issue of the fuel tax.
Mulero
In his plan, the mayor proposed to “inject” $165 billion to the Highway Trust Fund in an effort to ensure its solvency for nearly a decade. And while the trust fund is functioning temporarily, Buttigieg would call on his Department of Transportation to arrive at a new user fee-based system. He pointed to a vehicle-miles-traveled fee. “Within such a system, discounted rates can be offered on a sliding scale based on income,” according to the proposal. The question remains, where would this $165 billion come from? This kicking-the-can approach to highway funding is old hat in Washington.
There’s a reason why advancing comprehensive infrastructure legislation has been so difficult for transportation policymakers on Capitol Hill in recent years. Congress can’t agree on a sustainable source of funding for big-ticket projects. A prominent source of that funding is the Highway Trust Fund, which relies on insufficient revenue from the gas and diesel tax. Congress last raised the fuel tax during the Clinton administration. Since then, leaders have avoided asking the public to support such a tax increase, even if it meant improving infrastructure. (It’s been said Trump privately endorsed a 25-cent fuel tax increase.)

The Week Ahead (all times Eastern)
Jan. 12-16: The Transportation Research Board hosts its 99th annual meeting in Washington. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao is scheduled to deliver keynote remarks Jan. 15. The secretary recently unveiled a new autonomous vehicles directive. She also has emphasized safety, innovation, and funding across rural areas. TRB will feature more than 5,000 presentations and hundreds of exhibitors addressing nearly every issue in transportation.
Jan. 14, 10 a.m.: The North American Council for Freight Efficiency has scheduled a conference call to discuss a recent report on fuel economy.

Jan. 14, 10:30 a.m.: The Senate Budget Committee marks up the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act.
Jan. 15, 10 a.m.: The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee marks up the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act.

Indication from Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that transportation leaders within her caucus intend to present a climate change-centric highway bill in the coming week has intrigued stakeholders throughout the transportation sector. Whether Congress manages to advance a comprehensive update of the 2015 FAST Act highway law before the law’s Sept. 30 expiration remains to be seen.

If it sells, it’s commerce. If it moves, it’s transportation. And the commercial transportation sector has been very aware of the costs associated with building, maintaining, and upgrading corridors around the country. Tom Kertscher offers a reminder of America’s to-do list on its roads, bridges, everything else that connects passengers and commerce.
Out of the Running
One of the staunchest advocates in Congress for the improvement of freight and commuter access in the New York,-New Jersey-Connecticut region suspended his 2020 presidential run, just a few weeks prior to the Iowa Caucuses. New Jersey Democrat Sen. Cory Booker, a member of the Environment and Public Works Committee with jurisdiction over highway policy, announced Jan. 13 he would no longer seek the highest office in the land. Despite his ambitious campaigning, the senator had been unable to break into the top tier of Democrats who are vying to defeat President Trump.
In an interview with Transport Topics, Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.) addressed concerns he raised at the end of last year regarding a political animus at the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. He is the panel’s ranking member. “The last thing we want to see is that committee turn partisan,” Graves said last week. “We can’t have the partisanship that we’ve seen in a couple of hearings — not all of them — but a couple of hearings and hopefully that’s behind us.”

STEP goes over 100m
The Kilamba building is one of the highest and emblematic buildings in the Marginal of Luanda, Angola.
Completed in 2016, its architecture with glass facades and a slender configuration with over 100 meters of height, requires careful maintenance and regular cleaning. The STEP solution, light and simple, allows for use with scaffolding baskets or motorised abseiling for simpler jobs.
The STEP 4TWO system installed is a motorised system that runs in a monorail surrounding the building and allowing access to all the facades a simple and secure way.

Portland plans to propose the strictest facial recognition ban in the country
System Account Dec. 4, 2019
As the federal government plods along on developing privacy laws, some cities are taking matters into their own hands—with facial recognition technology at the top of the list. Now, Portland, Oregon, has plans to ban the use of facial recognition for both the government and private businesses in the city, a move that could make Portland’s ban the most restrictive in the United States.
The proposed ban comes after cities including San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley in California, and Somerville in Massachusetts, have already banned the use of facial recognition by their city government agencies, including police departments. But Portland’s ban goes a step further by expanding to private businesses—if it makes it into law and takes effect in spring 2020, as planned.
It could be a preview of what to expect across the country. “I think we’re going to start to see more and more [private sector bans],” says ACLU of Northern California attorney Matt Cagle, who helped draft the San Francisco legislation that later served as the model for Oakland and Berkeley. “People are really concerned about facial recognition use and the tracking of their innate features by governments and private corporations.”

EPA green-lights use of pesticide linked to brain damage in children
Ellen Knickmeyer
WASHINGTON – The Environmental Protection Agency rejected a key legal challenge Thursday to a pesticide linked to brain damage in children, saying environmental groups had failed to prove that a ban was warranted.
The agency’s defense of continued use of the widely used bug-killer chlorpyrifos could set the stage for a pivotal federal court decision on whether to overrule the EPA and force the agency to ban it.
“To me, this starts the clock on the use of chlorpyrifos on food crops in the US,” said former senior EPA attorney Kevin Minoli.
Scientists say studies have shown that chlorpyrifos damages the brains of fetuses and children. The pesticide has been used nationally on dozens of food crops, but California – the nation’s largest agricultural state – and a handful of other states have recently moved to ban it.

The agency said the environmental groups had failed to prove that the pesticide wasn’t safe.
Last summer, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the EPA to ban all sales of the pesticide. The court decided to reconsider that ruling with a slate of 11 judges, who gave the EPA until this month to respond to the environmental groups’ arguments for banning chlorpyrifos.
The EPA under the Obama administration had initiated a ban, but the agency reversed that decision shortly after President Donald Trump took office.
The EPA defense Thursday showed that “as long as the Trump administration is in charge, this EPA will favor the interests of the chemical lobby over children’s safety,” said Ken Cook, head of the Environmental Working Group environmental advocacy organization.
Online gambling:Now available around the clock in this state
In a statement, the EPA said it was separately speeding up a regular agency review of the pesticide’s continued use, and expected a decision on that well ahead of a 2022 deadline.
The EPA said it also was talking with chlorpyrifos makers about further restrictions on how farmers use the pesticide.

The Onset town wharf, on the north side of the turning basin, has depths of about 14 feet at its face. The harbormaster has an office at the wharf. The harbormaster monitors VHF-FM channel 16 and uses channel 9 as a working frequency; call sign KYQ-833. Several small-craft facilities are on the north side of the bay along the southwesterly side of Long Neck.
Click the “Map View” button above to see a chart of this harbor.
Onset Bay, between Sias Point on the north and Hog Neck on the south, is the approach to the village of Onset. A dredged marked channel leads westward from Cape Cod Canal along the southerly side of the bay to a turning basin off the village. Two anchorage areas, one on each side of the channel, are at the head of the channel. In 1995, the midchannel controlling depth was 14 feet to the turning basin, thence depths of 13 to 15 feet were available in the basin; depths of 6 to 8 feet were available in the eastern anchorage basin with 7½ feet available in the western anchorage basin.
Wickets Island is a high and wooded islet in the middle of the bay. The buoys in the entrance channel are frequently towed under because of the strong currents. A rock, covered 8 feet, is near the channel entrance about 75 yards northeast of Hog Island Channel Light 21. In 1981, two rocks, covered 4 to 5 feet, were reported on the north edge of the channel between Buoys 2 and 4; caution is advised.
A 5 mph speed limit is enforced above Wickets Island.
The East River empties into Onset Bay southeast of Onset. A draft of 3 feet can be taken to an anchorage just above the highway bridge which connects Onset and Long Neck. The bridge has a fixed span with a clearance of 11 feet.

How do unix file permissions work?
Unix provides fine-grained access control for files. It's important to understand it.
What unix file permissions are
At their most basic, unix file permissions are a set of bits which control who has the permission to read from, write to and execute files. They have similar, but slightly different meanings as applied to directories. The mode is normally expressed either as a symbolic string of gibberish or as a numeric mode.
Numeric file permissions
A numeric mode is normally expressed as set of three or four octal digits but can be any length up to four. Any ommitted digits are assumed to be leading zeroes. The first digit is the sum of the "set uid" (4), "set gid" (2), and "sticky" (1) attributes. If you need these you know what they mean. Otherwise, move along please. The second digit sets permissions for the owner of the file to read(4), write(2), and execute(1) the file. The third sets permissions for members of the group specified as the group owner of the file and the fourth for people not in the file's group, with the same values for read, write and execute as the user permission digit. You figure out what permissions you need by adding the bits together. If I want a file to be readable and writeable by me and its group and just readable by others, I might run chmod 664 file to change the mode of the file.
Symbolic file permissions
commands which deal with file permissions often allow you to specify symbolic permissions as follows: u user g group o other r read w write x execute + add specified permission - remove specified permission = make permission exactly equal to this
So in the example above, I could achieve the results I wanted by chmod ug=rw,o=r file or by looking at the current file mode and using "+" or "-" as appropriate. For example, to remove group and world write and execute permissions on a file I might do chmod go-wx file. See the man chmod for more details. On linux boxes you may have to do info chmod to get all the details because the GNU project don't like manual pages.
Finding out file permissions
You can see a symbolic representation of the permissions on a file or directory by using ls -l. If you want to understand why files you create get the permissions they do, read about how umasks work.
Special file permissions
I said "move along please", but to reward you for your persistence, these are the meanings of the leftmost digit of four-digit octal file permissions. Note: Do not use these unless you really know what you are doing. The setuid and setgid bits on files in particular have been responsible for many serious security breaches when thoughtlessly applied to unworthy programs.
When set on files:
Numeric Symbolic Name Meaning
4000 u+s setuid bit If the file is executed, set the effective user id of the resultant process to the owner of the file.
2000 g+s setgid bit If the file is executed, set the effective group id of the resultant process to the group owner of the file.
1000 t sticky bit No effect. On ancient systems it means "Save the text image of the program to swap to speed up load time".
When applied to directories, the meanings of these bits are subtly different and more system- and filesystem-dependent:
4000 u+s setuid bit No effect
2000 g+s setgid bit Set the group owner of files created in this directory to the group of the group owner of the directory instead of the primary group of the file's creator
1000 t sticky bit or "restricted delete flag" On some systems it means prevent users from removing or renaming files in this directory unless they own the file or directory

Courtney Roulston
Courtney Roulston first rose to fame after competing in Series 2 of Masterchef (2010). Prior to Masterchef, Courtney worked as a barmaid in her local bowling club. She did this for ten years before plucking up the courage to apply for the show that would change her life…Masterchef.
About Courtney Roulston
Born in Blacktown but raised on a farm in Kellyville, Courtney is the youngest of six. As a child, she enjoyed playing cricket, fishing, & something a little more uncouth…studying Margaret Fulton’s cookbooks! It was at this time at the tender age of eight, that Courtney first realised she’d taken a real liking to cooking. Her very first re-creations included homemade pizzas & cheesecakes – a far call from some of the dishes she so easily executes today…
Courtney Roulston: Life After Masterchef

State seeks death penalty for man charged with killing Bennettsville 8-year-old and mother
by: wbtw
Posted: Apr 25, 2019 / 04:51 PM EDT / Updated: Apr 25, 2019 / 10:49 PM EDT
BENNETTSVILLE, SC (WBTW) – The state has filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty against the man charged with kidnapping and killing a Bennettsville 8-year-old girl and her mother.
Jejauncey Harrington, 32, of Bennettsville, has been charged in the murders of Ella Lowery, of Bennettsville, and her 8-year-old daughter, Iyana Lowery.
According to the arrest warrant, Harrington robbed his murder victim, Ella Lowery, after stabbing her multiple times. Law enforcement agents obtained video footage from New Bridge Road in McColl that places Harrington near an abandoned home where “personal belongings of Ella Lowery were found after the murder.”
The warrant also details how Harrington killed the young girl after kidnapping her from her home. Harrington placed Iyana Lowery’s body in a remote pool of water off New Bridge Road in McColl, where she was discovered. Harrington “transported [Iyana] in a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse,” where Iyana’s DNA was found in the trunk of the car, the warrant reports.
The homeowner says it’s painful being surrounded by locations where deputies discovered evidence in a murder case and 8-year-old Iyana Lowery’s body.
“You can’t look at the house the same anymore, knowing what happened. Can’t look at that bridge, knowing what happened. Now I have to live across the street from it,” says the resident.
While the sheriff’s office says Facebook messages, phone records, and witnesses confirm a relationship existed between Harrington and Ella Lowery, no motive for the two murders has been released.

“I play everyday, mostly,” Hobby said, sitting next to his wife, Barbara.
“Well, I enjoy watching him play,” Barbara Hobby said. “He’s got health problems, can’t go out of town and play all the time.”
Billy and Barbara were in Cadiz, Kentucky, about 20 miles from their home in Princeton so that the 86-year-old pool player could compete in a weekly tournament.
Trump Visits West Virginia Hints at Utility Bailout
Associate Press
President Donald Trump today visited West Virginia for a roundtable discussion on the recently-passed tax bill. The president also indicated the administration is looking closely at a recent emergency request made by regional electric utility FirstEnergy.
Trump told a crowd in White Sulphur Springs he is looking closely at a request by the Ohio-based utility for emergency aid to keep its struggling coal and nuclear plants running.
Soy Vey! Ohio Valley Farmers Caught Up in Trade War
China buys more than half of the soybeans produced in the Ohio Valley. While a new 25 percent tariff is just a threat from the region's largest buyer, the signs of a trade war between President Trump’s tariff list and China’s has farmers caught in its crosshairs. This all comes as the US Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue visits the region this week.
Each morning Davie Stevens wakes up to check commodities online, Wednesday morning was no different, except the market price of soybeans had dropped almost 40 cents.
“At a projected crop of 4.3 billions bushels of soybeans this year. Soybean farmers by overnight have lost 1.72 billion in value. So is it a big deal? It's a huge deal.”

Bevin: Too Early to Weigh In on Trump Tariffs
By Ryland Barton • Mar 7, 2018
Gov. Matt Bevin says it’s too early to say what he thinks of President Donald Trump’s proposal to institute tariffs on foreign-made steel and aluminum even though the policy could have a big impact on Kentucky.
The tariff could benefit Kentucky aluminum manufacturers like Braidy Industries—the company that Bevin helped attract to the state with a package of economic incentives—and Century Aluminum, which announced it would hire 300 new workers in Hancock County if the tariff went into effect.

Kentucky Nurses Push To Prescribe Controlled Drugs Independently
By Lisa Gillespie (KPR) • Mar 3, 2018
Kentucky advance practice nurses got a big win in 2014. For the first time, they were able to prescribe routine medications, like antibiotics and blood pressure meds, to patients after spending four years collaborating with a doctor. This applied to…“nurse practitioners, nurse midwives and clinical nurse specialist…”
That was Jessica Estes , a nurse practitioner near Owensboro. She’s also the president of the Kentucky Coalition of Nurse Practitioners & Nurse-Midwives.
So this was a big win for these nurses. Nurse practitioners could basically set up their own shops - free from having to work with a doctor - but only if they didn’t prescribe controlled drugs, like opiates. They still have to have an agreement with a doctor indefinitely to prescribe those controlled drugs.
“We are now finding that APRNs are finding difficulty securing a collaborator , and they have to be of the same or a similar specialty, and licensed in Kentucky. And it’s creating some barriers.”
This ‘collaborative prescriptive agreement’ is a piece of paper, a form if you will. Doctors sign off on it. And every year, those doctors have the option of renewing that collaborative agreement.

Now, it’s unclear if President Trump will follow through. Becca Schimmel spoke to people in regional industries that could win or lose if tariffs take effect.

Restricted Right: Ohio Valley Women Face Abortion Barriers

Crim stands just a few feet from the open door of the office of Governor Matt Bevin near the Capitol rotunda. Crim and Bevin may be physically close in in this situation, but they could not be further apart on the issue.They personify the opposing poles of the decades-old debate surrounding abortion.
Bevin has been vocally supportive of legislative restrictions on abortion access such as longer waiting periods.
Analysis Shows Toxic Sites In Flood Zone

The Ohio Valley has long been home to some of the dirtiest industries in the nation. Coal, plastics, and chemical plants and their waste sites dot our river valleys. Even those no longer operational leave their legacy in the soil and water.
Distler Farm sits just on the outskirts of Louisville in Jefferson County, Kentucky. Its pastoral name is misleading. During the 1970s it served as a landfill for liquid waste, including medical and agricultural refuse.

Man accused of rehearsing mass shooting, pointing guns at pedestrians outside San Diego hotel
December 9, 2019 at 3:04 AM EST - Updated December 9 at 3:04 AM
SAN DIEGO (KGTV/CNN) - A San Diego man faces several charges in relation to a series of YouTube videos in which authorities believe he was rehearsing a domestic terrorist attack.
Steve Homoki, 30, was arrested Thursday and charged with multiple felony assault weapons charges, possession of a high capacity magazine and child endangerment.
Police say Homoki posted graphic videos online depicting assault weapons being pointed at unknowing pedestrians outside the Sofia Hotel in downtown San Diego.
Steve Homoki, 30, is charged with multiple felony assault weapons charges, possession of a high capacity magazine and child endangerment. (Source: Steve Homoki/KGTV/CNN)
Police served a search warrant at Homoki’s home and seized several firearms from his residence. According to the warrant, Homoki has 14 firearms registered in California purchased between February 2018 and May 2019.
Homoki booked a room March 22 at the Sofia Hotel and checked out the next day, the warrant stated. On Sept. 17, a video from a room in the hotel was posted to a YouTube channel believed to belong to the suspect.
The video appears to have been taken from a camera mounted to a man's body. The videographer is not seen as two assault-style rifles on a couch are shown, along with a female mannequin head, a Department of Homeland Security license plate and ammunition scattered on the floor.
The video then shows a semi-automatic handgun being loaded and pointed at people walking outside, as the subject is heard saying "jams, boom," documents said. The ammunition jams the gun, and the subject unloads the round.
The subject continues, picking up an assault-style rifle from the couch and pointing it out the window at pedestrians before pulling the trigger while the firearm's chamber is empty. The subject can be heard saying "one down, more to go," the warrant said.
Another video posted to the same YouTube channel Sept. 18 appears to be taken from inside the same hotel showing similar images play out, according to the warrant. The subject once again points weapons out a hotel room window at pedestrians and pulls the trigger with an empty chamber.
On Nov. 30, an anonymous person reported to the FBI an online chat user, allegely affiliated with the YouTube channel the videos had been posted to, had “gone off the deep end.”
The person said they watched the user “slowly become less stable over the period of almost an entire year” and post a goodbye message about five or six months prior.
The person said they feared he was planning to do something, adding they can "almost guarantee if he is confronted while at home, he will open fire on Federal Agents or police."
Homoki is scheduled to be arraigned Monday. Police have filed a gun violence restraining order against him.

Ron English Bought a Banksy. Now He Will Whitewash It to Make A Statement
A philosophy graduate interested in critical theory, politics and art. Alias of Jelena Martinović.
Ron English has big plans for the Banksy piece he bought at Julien’s Auctions in Los Angeles on Wednesday, November 14 for $730,000. The piece Slave Labour, which was removed from the side of a London discount store and sold at auction, will be whitewashed by English in protest of the commercialization of Street art.
The work depicts a child on his knees sewing Union Jack flags, referring to the use of sweatshop labor to create memorabilia for the 2012 London Olympics. After it was taken down from a wall months later, the piece resurfaced at the Miami auction. The lot was withdrawn after protests, but it was eventually sold in London in 2013.
The piece was now sold again at Julien’s Auctions and English, who bought it, vowed to whitewash it “for my good pal Banksy,” adding he wished he could have spent more money for it.
I’m going to paint it white again, I’m done. This is a blow for street art. It shouldn’t be bought and sold.
A post shared by Galerie Matthew Namour (@matthewnamourgallery) on Nov 15, 2018 at 8:47am PST
Ron English Destroying a Banksy
Ron English explained he plans on buying and whitewashing street works as long as people try to make profits by removing them from the streets and the public.
I’m going to paint over it and just include it in one of the walls in my house. We’re tired of people stealing our stuff off the streets and re-selling it so I’m just going to buy everything I can get my hands on and whitewash it.
The artist explained that he is tired of people stealing artists’ work from the street and reselling it. He also said that he plans to sell the whitewashed piece for $1 million, adding “I’m crazy but I’m not stupid.”
A post shared by Julien’s Auctions Official (@juliens_auctions) on Nov 14, 2018 at 9:14pm PST
Street Art Belongs in the Streets
Banksy’s pieces had long been known to even double the property value overnight of buildings sporting them. More often, the pieces would be ripped from the streets and sold at auction. Banksy himself has long decried this practice of rampant dislodging and sale of street artworks against the will of artists.
A few years back, his piece High Street Rat was taken from a wall of a Victorian hotel in San Francisco by a street art collector Brian Greif in order to rescue it from being whitewashed by the city government. When Greif offered the work as a gift to SFMOMA, the museum asked for a certificate of authenticity from Banksy himself to ensure that he created the painting. However, Banksy’s studio wouldn’t provide the document, as this would support the idea that street art removed from the walls, still has value, legitimizing the black market which surrounds the practice.
Simply, artists like Banksy make pieces in their studios that they designate for sale, but the works they are making on the street are not intended to be sold, or even saved.

The Flatbush years
One hundred years ago, Houdini returned home after an exhausting seven month coast to coast Vaudeville tour. But the New York home he returned to was not his famous brownstone at 278 W 113th Street in Harlem. It's not generally known, but Harry and Bess Houdini lived in Flatbush for 3 1/2 years between 1914 and 1918. In fact, it was in this Flatbush house at 394 East 21st Street (pictured above) that Houdini produced what today might be considered his single most important surviving artifact, but I will get to that.
When Houdini purchased his Harlem brownstone in 1904, it was to serve as a new Weiss family home and, primarily, a new home for his mother. At the time, Houdini was performing in Europe and only returned to New York for short periods. As a family home, 278 saw a steady rotation of resident Weisses (and Rahners). Houdini's brother Leopold even set up his radiology practice in the parlor.
When Cecelia Weiss died in 1913, Houdini was devastated and reportedly didn't like the memories that came with the house. At least that's the official story. Jon Oliver, who spoke with Harry Hardeen Jr., claims the real issue with 278 was that mama's corpse had been left inside the house for the week it took Houdini to return from Europe, and it had become uninhabitable (and unsellable). Whatever the truth, Houdini felt the need to escape.
Houdini's brother Dash, who performed as Hardeen, had purchased a home in Flatbush in 1912. Hardeen's pitchbook identified the address as 394 Kenmore Place, but in reality it was located at 394 East 21st Street. However, it was more house than Dash required (or could afford?) and in July 1914 he put an ad in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle looking to sublet the top floor:
The tenants Hardeen ended up with were the Houdinis. Houdini moved to 394 East 21st Street in September 1914. On his new stationary (rimmed in black to show he was in mourning) he wrote to a friend:
The Flatbush house became the hub of activity during the years Houdini was land-locked in North America because of the war in Europe. It was during his time that Houdini began to build what he hoped would be one of the world's greatest dramatic collections, and the mounds of new material he acquired flooded into Flatbush. When Houdini met Harry Kellar in 1916, he invited him to the house where he showed off his collection and also amazing the great magician (according to Kellar himself) with card magic.
But it was on October 29th, 1914, that the Flatbush house became the sight of what might arguably be the single most important Houdini artifact of them all. It was here that Houdini used an Edison wax cylinder phonograph to record his voice, now the only recording of Houdini's voice in existence. While I can't say conclusively that he made the recording in the house itself, he identifies his location as "Flatbush, New York" and his sister Gladys is with him, so I'm thinking it's likely this was done at home.
The Houdinis (and, presumably, their many pets) lived on the top floor of 394 while the Hardeens (and their children) lived below. Was living in such close quarters a strain? Possibly. In his book, Houdini!!! The Career of Ehrich Weiss, Kenneth Silverman identifies a few cryptic references in Houdini letters and diaries that suggest tension. "I do not like atmosphere re certain things in Flatbush" Houdini wrote to Oscar Teale. And when Houdini was honored at an S.A.M. banquet, he noted curtly in his diary: "Dash and Elsie did not wish to go."
The shared residence also caused some amusing confusion. When Hardeen was arrested for speeding, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported that it was Houdini who received the $25 fine. The paper later printed a retraction, quoting Houdini himself as saying that he had "never been arrested nor fined, and does not drive a motor car."
1929 map showing the location of 394.
Harry and Bess moved back to 278 in February 1918. His magic and drama collections alone filled six moving vans. Some of the papers mistakenly reported that Houdini had recently bought the house. Houdini transferred legal ownership of 278 to Bess on July 22, 1918. He would go on to make 278 the home that it really never was to him before.
Hardeen moved out of 394 in 1921, relocating a few blocks to 537 East 21st St. This would be the home he and Elise would live out the remainder of their lives.
Today a modern apartment block sits at the site of Houdini's forgotten Flatbush residence.
A very big thanks to Bill Mullins for his invaluable help in locating Hardeen's house and for the Brooklyn Eagle classified ad and map.
Also thanks to Joe Notaro of Harry Houdini Circumstantial Evidence and Jon Oliver. The Houdini Flatbush letter is reproduced from the collection of James Crossini on page 29 of The Illustrated Houdini Research Diary, Part 4: 1911 to 1915 by Frank Koval.

Good work! Been wondering about this. My grandfather lived in Flatbush for 75 years, and my mother also grew up in Brooklyn. So if Houdini wasn't driving - what? The D train? Taxis? A limo?
John Cox March 11, 2016 at 4:35 PM
Well, we know he did all three. We've also seen Dash driving him around. But I wonder what his normal transport into the city was -- and to the film lab in New Jersey.
Excellent! So well written and thoroughly researched!
Thanks! Bill Mullins was the one who really helped crack this one.
Leo Hevia March 11, 2016 at 5:45 PM
Three thumbs up! This is a well written and researched article. I thought the Houdinis might have stayed downstairs given all of the material HH had hauled into the house.
Mama's corpse making 278 uninhabitable sounds weird. I thought HH rented 278 out to college students from nearby Columbia University. Knowing that HH would take a week to return home, she must have been embalmed?
John Cox March 12, 2016 at 7:10 AM
Thanks Leo.
I went back and forth about whether to include that mama corpse info, but I've never been able to forget it since Jon Oliver told me about it. Houdini leaving the house just because of the memories always seemed a little odd. This offered and much more realistic, although gruesome, explanation. However, she was embalmed and HH lived in the house for a year after her death when you'd think that would have been least possible. So it's a question mark. But considering it came from Harry Hardeen Jr., I thought it was worth including.
BTW, I think the building on the right is still the same building from Hardeen's time.
Yeah, I also suspected that. That lower brick front looks identical to the one in the old photo. That old photo of Hardeen's home was probably taken in the 1930s or 40s? I doubt that building on the right was there when HH rented the place out.
You can see the building in the pic of the house in Hardeen's pitchbook, so it was there. And the trees in that photo match the photo above, so it also appears to be from Hardeen's time.
Seems odd for her to be embalmed. The widow of a rabbi? Kind of goes against Jewish custom.
Does it? Then possibly I'm wrong. I know she was taken by an undertaker from Asbury Park, "Undertaker Burtis", and I just assumed she was embalmed. We know Houdini was embalmed.
As we know, HH would on occasion make exceptions and bypass ancient traditions. His monument to himself in Machpelah is one example.
When he requested that his mother not be buried until he returned from Europe, I don't think his family had any other choice but to preserve her body until his ship arrived.
And they say not burying her shortly after death was also technically going against Jewish custom. Although the custom does allow for delayed burial if relatives are away and need time to return. So that's what was happening here.
Houdini did not strictly adhere to any Jewish custom. He was not orthodox. Although every time I look up one of these customs that Houdini supposedly defied, I find there are always allowances.

Thanks for this--I presently live on East 21st Street in Brooklyn, about a mile from there, and I had never known about the Houdini/Hardeen connection!

HOME | NEWS & MEDIA | GOVERNMENT MINISTER OPENS WINBRO’S NEW ADVANCED MACHINING CENTRE
Government Minister opens Winbro’s new Advanced Machining centre
Minister for Small Business, Industry and Enterprise Rt Hon Anna Soubry MP today opened Winbro Group Technologies’ new hi-tech Leicestershire factory.
The new facility was needed to meet unprecedented customer demand following government investment in a programme to improve the competitiveness of UK aerospace companies.
As part of the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations Winbro was announced as winner of the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise. Two hundred and forty-three businesses across the UK received a new Queen’s Award for Enterprise, recognising their contribution to international trade, innovation and sustainable development. Winbro was singled out as a leader in its field for innovation with the VIP visit coming just weeks after its second success in this category was announced.
Winbro has added a new 43,000 sqft Winbro Advanced Machining Facility in Shepshed, near Loughborough, to the four sites it already operates in Coalville and one recently expanded plant in America. The new factory will use state-of-the art equipment to manufacture complex turbine components such as high pressure blades & vanes as used in the ‘Hot’ part of aero engines and power generation gas turbines.
The Minister visited the company’s headquarters on Coalville’s Whitwick Business Park last year to see how the government-backed Sharing in Growth initiative is helping Winbro win multi-million pound contracts and expand its UK operations.
Minister for Business Anna Soubry said:
“It was great to be back at Winbro to open its high-tech facility and celebrate yet another manufacturing success story in the Midlands Engine.
“Innovation is crucial for advanced manufacturers, which create skilled jobs for the local area and boost the economy, and the Queen’s Award is a really solid endorsement of Winbro. I want to see even more British companies following their example, driving growth through innovation and selling products across Europe and the rest of the world.”
Winbro’s UK COO Andy Lawson said: “Winbro is pushing ahead on all fronts. We have established a sound reputation for technological innovation which has been recognised by our customers and through the Queens Award for Enterprise and we are now in the government spotlight for improving our skills, winning business, creating jobs, and investing in our community.”
Said Andy Page, CEO of Sharing in Growth: “Winbro epitomises a company that’s going from good to great. They are building skills, raising productivity, improving competitiveness, winning business and expanding with new facilities and jobs. They should be justifiably proud of their success.”
A supplier to blue chip companies like Rolls-Royce, GE, Pratt and Whitney, Snecma and Siemens, Winbro has secured contracts estimated to be worth £88 million since starting on the government-backed Sharing in Growth programme 18 months ago. This will eventually see the company grow from 170 staff in 2014 to over 300 by mid 2018.
The company joined Sharing in Growth (SiG) in October 2014 because it wanted to grow its order book, improve operational efficiencies and develop its skilled workforce.
Since then SiG engineers and business gurus have used their expertise to train staff and drive up productivity and efficiency. During the four year programme the government’s Regional Growth Fund will contribute around £1.5 million to Winbro’s development which the company will match through the value of time dedicated to improvements.
Winbro Group Technologies now has a total of 220 employees, including apprentices and students on the company’s graduate programme, across the UK and USA operations and the company is currently seeking to recruit additional engineers and technical staff in a number of disciplines. For information on Winbro vacancies please e-mail kpanter@winbrogroup.com.

Sharing in Growth provides a sustainable and cohesive four year training and transformation programme, worth £3 million to each participating aerospace company. Supported by the Regional Growth Fund, the programme aims to safeguard 10,000 UK jobs.

Relationships with parents matter to family law courts the most
July 13, 2015 Child CustodyThe Law Office of V. Wayne Ward
Courts in Texas and other states typically try to act within the best interests of any minor children in divorce cases, and this means that judges will usually fashion orders that will allow both parents to have some involvement in a child’s life. Therefore, certain issues a parent has might not automatically invalidate his or her chances for custody. To highlight how the child custody process might work, many are speculating about what could happen to the children after the high-profile split of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick.
The reality tv show stars have three children, and one attorney mentioned that Scott’s colorful past does not necessarily bar him from gaining custody of his children though his history of substance abuse could make it difficult. While one parent could have trouble in family court when struggling with addiction or joblessness or having a history of spousal abuse or mental illness, some parenting rights may still be granted especially if the other parent is not in opposition.
Family law experts say that the problems people struggle with do not immediately bar them from some form of custody or visitation rights because courts value a parent’s relationship with a child and believe that having one with both parents is best for the children. However, this generally depends on the circumstances as both parents must be deemed fit and safe. For example, a judge might order drug testing as a condition of giving a former drug abuser visitation rights.
If both parents are deemed to be fit and can offer a safe environment for a child, then a judge may want both parents to share custody of a child or children. A family law attorney may endeavor to provide advice and counsel to a parent who is faced with these types of issues.

Below please find the day-by-day itinerary for this expedition. Unless otherwise noted, daily excursion options are included in the cost of the trip. We do our best to adhere to the scheduled itinerary, but in the spirit of our expeditionary style of travel we may deviate slightly to take full advantage of encounters with the destination and its people, culture, and wildlife.
Based on the expeditionary nature of our trips, there may be ongoing enhancements to this itinerary.
Depart USA
Board your independent, overnight flight to Reykjavik.
Arrive in Reykjavik this morning and transfer to the Fosshótel Reykjavík Hotel. Lunch and the remainder of the day are at leisure to enjoy this fascinating and colorful capital city. Gather this evening for a welcome reception followed by dinner and overnight at our hotel.
Reykjavik / Embark Le Bellot
After breakfast, set out to explore Iceland’s classic scenic wonders known as the Golden Circle. Begin with Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by mountains and encompassing a vast lava plain of green moss and wildflowers. Continue to Gullfoss Waterfall where the Hvita River drops 96 feet in two voluminous cascades. The Geysir Center is a huge geothermal field of both boiling and tranquil, multi-hued hot springs, bubbling mud pools, and geysers. Then visit a traditional farm where Icelandic horses are raised. After lunch in these picturesque surroundings proceed to the pier, making a photo stop at a scenic viewpoint before boarding Le Bellot.
Heimaey Island / Surtsey Island
On Heimaey Island, join a local tour of this incredible town with roots dating back to 650 AD. From Storhofdi, the views over the island are simply spectacular. Passing between two volcanoes, one that formed 5,000 years ago, the other in 1973 when its eruption engulfed parts of the town and almost closed the harbor. Drive right across the younger volcano’s crater and into the town known as the “Pompeii of the North.” Later this afternoon circumnavigate Surtsey, a fire-and-brimstone resulting from a 1963 undersea eruption. This island is now an important natural scientific experiment on how island flora and fauna evolves, with approximately 56 species of vascular plants now occurring.
Djúpivogur
The tiny port of Djúpivogur is the gateway to Europe’s largest glacier. While most of Iceland is pastoral and green, its southeastern corner is covered by the shimmering white Vatnajökull Glacier, a 1,000-foot-thick ice field. A variety of tour options exploring the area around Djúpivogur will be available, including hiking on black sand beaches; nature walks to absorb the beautiful scenery and spot a multitude of bird species; cultural tours highlighting local history; and an unforgettable boat ride on Jökulsárlón Lagoon, to cruise among its aquamarine icebergs.
Seydisfjördur
The 11-mile cruise along Seydisfjördur showcases a scenic wonderland of stunning geology, cascading waterfalls, and soaring mountains. At its head, a natural harbor shelters the fishing town of the same name, renowned for its brightly painted 19th-century wooden buildings. Options this morning include Skálanes Nature Reserve to explore an important archaeological site and search for of birds, or a hike to the magnificent Hengifoss Waterfall.
Raufarhöfn
Take a walking tour of this small town and visit the Arctic Henge, a huge stone monument overlooking the town.
Though Grímsey Island sits astride the Arctic Circle, it enjoys a mild climate and is covered with rich vegetation. Weather permitting, go ashore to visit the Viking hamlet of Sandvik, home to about 100 permanent residents who earn their living from fishing and fish processing. A Zodiac cruise along Grímsey's basaltic cliffs provides fantastic views of the incredible birdlife which includes kittiwakes, razorbills, fulmars, and puffins.
Húsavík / Akureyri
After an early breakfast, depart on a full-day inland tour of the Mývatn region. Thousands of years ago, volcanic eruptions created this dramatic landscape of labyrinthine lava formations, seething sulfur pits, and boiling mud pools. Oasis-like Lake Mývatn sits on the edge of a vast highland lava desert; one of Europe’s richest waterfowl breeding areas, it supports enormous numbers of breeding ducks and whooper swans. Continue to Akureyri to reboard Le Bellot.
Be on deck this evening to search for humpback whales, with a possibility of dolphins.
Siglufjördur
In the afternoon, visit Siglufjördur, once the undisputed herring fishing capital of the Atlantic. The Herring Era Museum vividly depicts this period and a lively song and dance reenactment, accompanied by local delicacies, brings the herring boom era to life.
Ísafjördur / Vigur Island
After breakfast step ashore in Ísafjördur, the trading and cultural center of the West Fjords. A cultural tour reveals the history and daily life of one of Iceland’s oldest fishing settlements and visits the region’s scenic highlights. In the afternoon, take a walking tour of small, verdant Vigur, the summer home to vast numbers of puffins, black guillemots, Arctic terns, and eiders. The tiny community dates back to the late 1800s and boasts Iceland’s only windmill.
Flatey Island / Látrabjarg
By Zodiac, trace the coastline of Flatey Island before going ashore for a guided walk with our naturalists through the tiny village. View the uniquely painted island church and the restored houses of islanders that are now mainly used as vacation homes. This evening sail past Iceland’s westernmost cape, the Látrabjarg cliff, a breeding ground for millions of seabirds.
Reykjavik / Disembark / USA
After breakfast, disembark for a short city tour, visiting the central part of the city, Perlan, and the Hallgrimskirkja Church. After lunch, transfer to the airport and your independent flight, arriving in the USA the same day

First geological map of Titan reveals varied, intriguing geology
Titan is a lot like the Earth... except it's nothing like the Earth.
byMihai Andrei
inGeology, News, Science, Space
Different infrared views of Titan. Image credits: NASA / JPL.
Titan’s atmosphere is dense and hazy, just like Earth’s. The satellite also features intricate, stable bodies of liquid on its surface. But that’s where the similarities with the Earth end. Titan’s liquid isn’t water, but hydrocarbon (mostly methane). It’s atmosphere — 97% nitrogen, the rest methane and hydrogen.
Titan’s remarkable features make it extremely interesting for astronomers and geologists alike. It may not have water or oxygen, but aside from Earth, Titan is still the only body in the solar system to have an atmosphere and hydrologic system, which has a significant impact on its surface and evolution. However, its hazy atmosphere hinders our view of the surface, and it has been difficult to obtain a global vision of Titan’s geology.
Even after Titan was examined by both Voyager 1 and 2 in 1980 and 1981, respectively, it remained a mysterious object — a large satellite shrouded in an atmosphere too thick to enable observation.
All that changed with the Cassini mission. Armed with state of the art technology and perfectly equipped to deal with the planet’s rough conditions, Cassini revealed Titan in unprecedented detail.
Rosaly Lopes from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and colleagues used data gathered with infrared and radar instruments aboard Cassini to reconstruct and map Titan’s surface, including its poles. They identified six major geological forms, describing their approximate age and distribution around the globe. While Titan’s geology has been mapped before, this is the most comprehensive map of its kind.
Titan’s main geological features. Image credits: Lopes et al.
Titan’s geology depends strongly on latitude. Most of the satellite is covered by featured organic plains, which are widespread at mid-latitudes. But around the equator, young dune fields and hydrocarbon lakes dominate the landscape. These dunes, most of which measure 80-130 meters high, are the second-most extensive unit on Titan. Another important feature is the hummocky landscape — rocky mounds that are exposed as isolated peaks or ranges, gently undulating from mid to high latitudes, generally aligned east-west. These structures may have formed through tectonic activity, early in Titan’s history.
Titan also features lakes and seas, either dry or liquid-filled. The polar regions alone contain over 650 lakes, the majority being in the northern polar region.
Titan isn’t a static environment. Its surface has been changed by several geological processes, including impact cratering, precipitation, tectonism, as well as erosion. Given its hydrocarbon-rich surface, Titan is also riddled in organic material. This material is constantly eroded, shifted, deposited, and transported. All these interactions make Titan’s geology much more difficult to understand — which is why a geological map comes in handy.
These observations demonstrate the extent to which Titan is shaped by its methane cycle — just like the Earth is shaped by the water cycle. The polar areas are humid enough to keep liquid bodies of methane, whereas the arid equatorial climate keeps wind-shaped dunes intact.

Re: General Election 2019
Well, if I risked £20, I'd want the winnings myself. As you've basically challenged me to give away my winnings, and therefore risk a lose or lose scenario, I'll decline.
I'm happy to acknowledge my win or miss on here, though you've not said what your prediction is. I would expect you to be a Tory, but I suppose as you are a Remoaner this may mean you will abstain this time ??
I suppose you will hope for Boris to lose so that there is a chance that Remain eventually occurs ...

Boris Johnson widens lead over Jeremy Corbyn to 10 points
Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/11/30/boris-johnson-widens-lead-jeremy-corbyn-10-points-amid-fall/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_em
Boris Johnson has widened his lead over Jeremy Corbyn to 10 points, amid a further fall in support for the Brexit Party, according to a poll.
A Savanta ComRes survey for The Sunday Telegraph puts the Conservatives on 43 per cent, a two point rise since early last week.
Labour and the Brexit Party have each dropped by one point to 33 per cent and 4 per cent respectively, while the Liberal Democrats remained on 13 per cent.
Writing in The Sunday Telegraph, Sir John Curtice, the veteran psephologist, said the findings suggested that an "apparent erosion of the Conservative position may now have come to a halt."
The survey of 2,025 people also demonstrated support for a tough stance on the second phase of the Brexit negotiations.
Some 41 per cent said that if the EU and the UK fail to agree to a trade deal by the end of next year, the UK should end the transition without an agreement - compared to 27 per cent who disagreed.
On Friday Mr Johnson confirmed that a Conservative-led government would remain in a "state of readiness" for a no-deal Brexit - an outcome Mr Corbyn has said must be taken off the table.
The poll also showed that a majority of voters believed that the Conservatives would handle the economy competently.
By contrast only 27 per cent agreed that a government led by Mr Corbyn would handle the economy competently, while 54 per cent disagreed.
According to the survey, 70 per cent of those who voted to leave the EU currently support the Conservatives, while Labour is the most popular party among Remain voters, receiving 48 per cent of their votes.
Around 23 per cent of those who voted Remain in 2016 are planning to vote for the Liberal Democrats. Last week Sir John warned that the Conservatives "seemingly comfortable" lead would "soon be reduced if the Remain vote were to coalesce behind Labour."
However, 54 per cent of those intending to vote LibDem are not confident that a Labour government under Jeremy Corbyn would handle the economy competently, the Savanta ComRes poll found.
The survey was conducted online between Wednesday and Thursday.
The current vote shares would result in a Conservative majority of 42, according to projections by Electoral Calculus.
The Brexit Party would not win any seats.
On Saturday, Sir Vince Cable, the former Lib Dem leader, admitted that the party's policy to revoke the Article 50 notice period for leaving the EU, was "a distraction and not a very helpful one."

Looks like Chuka (LibDem candidate) will get chucked in the Cities of London and Westminster constituency.
Mark Field (recent Conservative MP) is not standing again and I suppose this is a strongly remain seat anyway, not least because City workers/ bankers etc tend to hate BREXIT

its great that we have Westburys own Nick Robertson i think there is no need to renew my TV License
Quote from: DORIAN on December 05, 2019, 09:45:01 AM
Your muddles seem to know no bound. You must mean Nick Robinson (a BBC presenter / journalist).
You are required by law to have a BBC licence if you watch any channel on TV (whether you watch the BBC or not) or if you use the BBC iPlayer app on any digital device.
It is a criminal offence not to have a BBC licence if you watch any live TV or catchup TV.
« Last Edit: December 05, 2019, 10:09:27 AM by baldy »
Can you please explain, as a senior executive of the South West Wiltshire Constituency Labour Party Association, why the latest leaflets for the Labour candidate have in bold letters on the front page the word "Re-elect" before the name of your candidate when actually she's never been elected to parliament before?
Surely, this is a deeply misleading attempt to suggest that your candidate is trying to get back into Parliament as if she held the seat at some time beforehand?
Corbyn is a disgusting terrorist-supporting traitorous racist
Mail Online: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7759109/SEVENTY-Labour-whistleblowers-condemn-Jeremy-Corbyn-Labours-anti-Semitism-crisis.html
Corbyn's disgusting behaviour in supporting terrorists and the Russians is fact and beyond doubt.
This latest fact proves he is a disgusting racist anti-semite. He should be locked up.
All Corbyn supporters are guilty of supporting his causes too - ie. racism (especially Jews), supporting terrorists and treachery against the UK.
The Labour party is now a vile disgusting organisation that should be closed down.

A genuine mistake, the template used to produce this leaflet was incorrectly approved and the leaflet sent out from central office by post was in this small detail incorrect.

"Still Dreaming: Race, Ethnicity, and Liberal Arts Education"
February 27-29, 2020 | Westmont College, Santa Barbara, CA
In what ways has liberal education, past and present, fostered racial privilege? How can liberal education cultivate racial justice?
Advocates of liberal arts education have long understood themselves as essential contributors to a society that is more prosperous, more integrated, and more just. But their vision of a better society has often been narrow and self-interested; it has privileged certain voices and priorities and systematically excluded others. This contradiction has been especially evident with respect to race and ethnicity. With a few notable exceptions—for example, HBCUs, or colleges that made antislavery or civil rights fundamental to their identities—modern liberal arts institutions have historically replicated, defended, or even promoted racially based patterns of inclusion and exclusion. Nonwhite students continue to be underrepresented at these institutions, and nonwhite faculty and staff often struggle to own and shape the identities of their colleges and universities.
Recent developments in American society have laid bare these longstanding patterns of exclusion, and liberal arts institutions are grappling in new ways with the very present legacies of racial inequity on their own campuses. There are questions of access: Who should enjoy the benefits of a broad and integrated education, and how do they get in the door? There are questions of power: Who shapes the ethos of campus life, determines the academic curricula, or set the standards for professional advancement? There are deep structural questions: If liberal arts institutions have been products of and contributors to the racial status quo, is there hope that they can articulate and pursue a genuinely inclusive vision of higher education?
The nineteenth annual Conversation on the Liberal Arts will gather scholars, administrators, students, and practitioners to consider these questions and more.
Faculty and administrators who wish to begin, broaden, or sharpen conversations about racial justice at their institutions;
Scholars whose research illumines the relationship between race and education in America;
Student life professionals who are working to create inclusive communities;
Undergraduate and graduate students whose scholarship or experience gives them insight into the challenges of inclusivity on campus;
Practitioners whose work gives them perspective on the ways race operates in the arena of higher education;
Anyone with an interest in the value and practice of liberal education.
The deadline for submitting proposals is November 15, 2019.

About the Conversation
"This conference has reminded me, after some time wandering in the proverbial desert, of why I got into academics in the first place."
—Conversation on the Liberal Arts participant
Our annual Conversation on the Liberal Arts gathers faculty, administrators, and students from colleges and universities nationwide to address opportunities and challenges in liberal arts education. How do we educate for membership in a global community? How is liberal education related to work and vocation? What challenges and opportunities are being created by changes in the business of higher education? We learn from some of the best in the field, but mostly we learn from each other as we share how things look through our sometimes very different lenses.
The Conversation on the Liberal Arts is not a typical academic conference. We have great speakers, and we have much to learn from them. But all of us are engaged in this work everyday, so we also have much to learn from each other. To stimulate this mutual teaching and learning, we keep the conference small; we anticipate fewer than 100 participants. Plenary sessions include as much time for participants' questions and contributions as they do for the speakers' talks. Concurrent sessions are opportunities for discussion between presenters and attendees about key elements of the presenter's work. And there is ample time for informal conversation over meals and coffee—often the most fruitful moments of the conference. The crucial element throughout is conversation, where we can all benefit from each other's insights.
We also profit from a wide range of perspectives. This is a conference where administrators, scholars, students, and practitioners can talk to each other about how the issues look from their different positions, and where those from large universities and small liberal arts colleges, from public institutions and private, from faith-based institutions and those with no religious affiliation can explore shared challenges from our differing contexts. Attendees consistently remark on the distinctively personal tone of these three days, praising the diverse, face-to-face dialogue that often is missing at academic gatherings.
In short, the Conversation on the Liberal Arts is a hospitable place for dialogue across what are too often boundaries in higher education—dialogue about the shared challenges, and especially the shared promise, of liberal arts education. We hope you'll join us!

The Santa Barbara Airport is just 20 minutes from campus, and 15 minutes from waterfront hotels. Rental car and taxi services are conveniently located on site. Los Angeles International Airport is a 75-minute drive from Santa Barbara; from there, the Santa Barbara Airbus ($50 one way) takes you directly to the complex of waterfront hotels that will be served by our campus shuttle. Amtrak is not cheaper or more convenient, as it requires a shuttle to and from LA Union Station. However, the train provides spectacular views of the LA basin and Pacific coastline.
Driving directions to campus may be found here. A map of campus may be found here. Parking at Westmont is free and no permit is necessary. Please park in the Kerr Student Center Parking Lot (P1 on map). To get there, enter upper campus and make an immediate left into the lot. Registration is at the Global Leadership Center, just to the south of the parking lot; from the lot, walk downhill past Kerr Student Center, then bear left across the long footbridge.
The Santa Barbara train station is at the lower end of downtown, a short taxi ride, or 20-minute walk, from East Beach hotels.
Campus Shuttle
Shuttle service will be provided between campus and the hotels listed below. Shuttles will run at the beginning and end of the program each day (see "Shuttle Information" tab for more).

Nurse sings holiday duet with cancer patient
by: Tribune Media Wire, CNN Newsource
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Trib Wire/CNN) – A heartwarming holiday duet between a chemo patient and a nurse has gone viral.
Penn Pennington is a longtime Nashville session guitarist who has played at the Grand Ole Opry for 23 years. He’s also undergoing chemotherapy treatments at Sarah Cannon Cancer Center.
When his nurse, Alex, found out he is a musician, she brought in her guitar and convinced him to sing with her. That led to bedside performances during his chemo treatments.
Their version of the Christmas classic “O Holy Night” was recorded on Sunday by Pennington’s daughter, Brandi Mykle Leath.

REDDING, California (WJW) – Police in Redding, California are warning residents not to act out against a convicted sexual predator who is once again living in their city.
Daniel Selovich, who legally changed his named to Pirate, was arrested in New Mexico back in 2010 for a Redding rape case, KRCR reported.

(CNN/WQAD) - Nicolina Pappas has always loved animals, but now she's taking her love to the next level. She's on a mission to keep plastic straws out of the ocean. And, she's only 8 years old.
When Pappas saw a video of a sea turtle with a plastic straw stuck in its nose, she knew she had to do something to help. So she created Nicolina's Turtle Co.

Best new films 2019: trailers and release dates
By Kashfia Kabir, Kob Monney 2019-01-03T16:44:33Z
Grab some popcorn and press play...
Whether you want to plan your future cinema trips or are blocking out evenings for epic TV show binges, we’ve rounded up a bunch of trailers for the films (and some TV shows) we think are worth looking out for this year – with an emphasis on system-shaking blockbusters.
2019 is the year of some seismic Marvel action: we have Captain Marvel heading to our screens right before Avengers: Endgame – the epic conclusion to the events of Infinity War and the current MCU era as we know it.
Other 2019 highlights are the final season of Game of Thrones, Jordan Peele's Us, some fantastic book-to-screen adaptations (Good Omens, Artemis Fowl, Deadly Class) and, of course, Farmageddon.
We'll be updating this page as new trailers are released, so be sure to keep coming back for all the latest teasers.
Marvel golden boys the Russo Brothers (The Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War) turn their Midas touch to this adaptation of Rick Remender's comic book series.
Set in the late 1980s, it follows the lonely orphan Marcus Lopez Arguello as he finds himself enrolled in a secret assassin school in San Francisco, where the kids of crime families from around the world are sent to learn the family trade. But this is more Kill Bill than Hogwarts.
There's a strong sense of anarchy and socio-political commentary running through the comics amidst the normal high-school tropes of bullies, romance, fitting in and murder.
Release date: 16th January 2019 (Syfy)
After an interesting start, Discovery appeared to fade a little, ending up being a solid (if not essential) Star Trek series.
The second series picks up the threads from the first, with Spock making an appearance and Captain Christopher Pike will take command of the USS Discovery.
The second run also looks to resolve issues fans had regarding this story's place in the timeline. Expect some more variety in the tone and style of episodes too.
After Split surprised us all and morphed into a side-quel to Unbreakable, Glass looks to unite the main characters from those stories.
Bruce Willis' David Dunn, Samuel L. Jackson's Elijah Price (Mr Glass) and James McAvoy's Kevin all appear in an institution for people who believe they have super-powers that's supervised by Sarah Paulson's Dr. Ellie Staple.
Of course two of those three do have powers, while Mr Glass holds secrets important to both men as he seeks to manouevre them for his own gain.
If M. Night Shyamalan can putt then all is forgiven (except for The Last Airbender, that's unforgivable).
Releae date: 18th January 2019
By the time this third and final film in the Train Your Dragon series comes out, it will have been nearly five years since the last one.
The sequel saw Hiccup find his mother, but lose his father. Now he's the village chief, but his peaceful reign is tested when he and his dragon, Toothless, travel to an undiscovered land where they encounter a new threat.
This series has managed to match Pixar's level of quality, so we have high hopes this trilogy can sign off in a blaze of dragon fire.
Release date: 1st February 2019
The LEGO Movie looked like an advert for toys, but won many people over with its charm.
It's, unbelievably, been almost five years since the first film came out pumping out a mantra of 'everything is awesome' and the LEGO characters are facing a new threat - the LEGO DUPLO® invaders from space who prefer to wreck things than build them.
Can they capture lightning in a bottle for a second time? It's a hard ask, but you wouldn't bet against these small LEGO bricks.
Release date: 8th February 2019
Based on the comics penned by Gerard Way (more famously known as the frontman for My Chemical Romance), The Umbrella Academy deals with unique, dysfunctional superheroes in its own stylistic way.
Six superheroes - once adopted when they were children by billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves, but since disbanded - are reunited as adults to deal with a mysterious death and an impending apocalypse. But with such differing personalities and powers, will they even be able to work together?
Release date: 15th February 2019 (Netflix)
From Attack The Block director Joe Cornish comes this charming coming of age meets fantasy film about a bullied schoolboy who accidentally comes upon King Arthur’s sword Excalibur and finds himself forced to deal with magical and evil forces.
Also stars the great Patrick Stewart (as older Merlin) and the superb Rebecca Ferguson (as Morgan le Fey).
Release date: 15th February 2019
Marvel's next hugely-anticipated release takes us back to the mid-1990s, with Brie Larson playing Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel.
It's the first time a Marvel film has had a female superhero taking the spotlight, and Larson already looks like she can take on most of the Avengers single-handedly. She is, after all, one of the most powerful individuals in Marvel Comics lore.
With pre-S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury and a rookie Agent Coulson popping up, not to mention the promise of a tie-in with Infinity War, this should be one of the highlights of 2019's film calendar.
Release date: 8th March 2019
The weird and wonderful American Gods is back with a second series that looks just as dreamlike, epic and, well, weird as the first one. The highlight (especially for the book’s fans) is that we finally get to see The House on the Rocks - a real life labyrinthine museum and funhouse in Wisconsin - where Mr Wednesday rallies the old gods for one last fight.
Release date: 11th March 2019 (Amazon Prime Video)
From the writer and director of the highly acclaimed Get Out comes a psychological horror that, from the trailer alone, looks bloody brilliant. The Wilson family head out to their beach house for a nice holiday, but they’re soon beset by strangers - doppelgangers - that turn their peaceful time into one of horror and xxx
We’ll have I Got 5 On It by Luniz stuck in our head for ages, though.
Release date: 15th March 2019
This follows in the wake of Disney's prior 'reimaginings' as the studio continues to mine its past for new interpretations.
Dumbo is about a young elephant whose oversized ears help him to fly. This act saves the travelling circus, but the animals soon learn that not all is well.
With Tim Burton directing, Dumbo is sure to have a bit of weirdness to it, and the cast is pretty outstanding. Another surefire hit for Disney?
Winter is well and truly here. The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones is finally upon us this year, and it's anyone's guess what will happen. Lots of fire and ice and dragons and bloody battles, we're sure.
But will Jon Snow (and everyone else in Westeros) finally find out his true lineage? Will Cersei be overthrown? Will Area finish her stabby list? How will the White Walkers be defeated? Who will finally sit on the throne and reign the kingdom? And will Davos survive?
We'll miss you, Game of Thrones.
Release date: April 2019 (Sky Atlantic)
A lack of fun has been a criticism oft levied at DC Comics. That's likely to change with the comedic tones of Shazam!
Shazam! is the story of Billy Batson, a kid who's granted the powers of an adult superhero (and morphs into Zachary Levi) every time he says "Shazam".
It's like Tom Hanks in Big, only if the character suddenly morphed into a massively muscled superhero.
Silly as it sounds, Shazam! sounds like the injection of comedy DC needed.
Release date: 5th April 2019
"Part of the journey is the end."
It's the one we've been waiting for. Along with eagerly anticipating the consequences of Thanos' fatal fingersnap that wiped out half the world's population, there's a terrifying feeling that we'll be seeing a mighty emotional climax in one of the greatest cinematic showdowns of our generation.
Captain America and Tony Stark featuring prominently in the trailers will only fuel the suspicion that one - or more - of the original Avengers won't make it beyond this film (permanently this time). This might well be the end of an era, and can't wait to see how Marvel will exceed expectations once again.
This is an odd one. It's the first live-action adaption of the Pokémon franchise (this adapts the 2016 game of the same name), and follows 21-year-old Tim trying to solve mystery behind his father's disappearance with the help of everyone's favourite electric Pokémon.
But the real icing on the cake is that Ryan Reynolds - Deadpool himself - is voicing Pikachu. It's a wacky assault on the senses – it’s really, really disconcerting to hear Reynolds’ voice coming out of the adorable Pikachu and we're constantly waiting for baseless, profanity-riddled jokes to come forth – but it somehow works.
Other Pokémon characters being “fleshed out” adds to the increasing weirdness, but this looks like a fun, easter-egg-filled film in its own right.
Release date: 10th May 2019
The words “Guy Ritchie” and “Disney film” shouldn’t be possible in any sentence, but here we are. Beloved Disney film Aladdin is getting the live-action remake treatment, and oh boy do we hope this is good.
The teaser trailer gave us a tantalising glimpse of vast, sandy dunes and the familiar cave of wonders, and the cast of Mena Massoud (Aladdin), Naomi Scott (Jasmine) and Marwan Kenzari (Jafar) look the part. With the Genie being voiced by Will Smith (just about the only person who could step into the former shoes of the late, great Robin Williams), we’re cautiously excited about this one.
We all know the story: a young boy from an alien planet crashes to Earth, is brought up by loving human parents, displays superhuman abilities, wears a cape...
But what if that origin story took a darker turn. What if the young boy didn't end up quite so... heroic? This new film (produced by James Gunn) cleverly and effectively blends two on-trend genres together to create something entirely new: superhero horror.
The titans have re-emerged! After Godzilla reared his lizard head in 2014, others followed in his wake.
Cryptozoological agency Monarch is trying to stem the tide as Godzilla faces off against Mothra, Rodan and the three-headed King Ghidorah.
Ken Watanabe and Sally Hawkins return, and they're joined by Vera Farmiga, Kyle Chandler and Stranger Things' Millie Bobby Brown.
Where Godzilla underwhelmed, this could be the heavyweight fight we wanted the first go around.
Release date: 31st May 2019
The upcoming X-Men film takes on a storyline we’ve seen before: Jean Grey being consumed with the all-powerful Dark Phoenix force, ending in betrayals, deaths and destruction for her fellow X-Men and friends.
We like the look of the trailer’s more down-to-earth and character-focussed feel - it's a welcome change from the sprawling mess that was X-Men: Apocalypse.
But we haven’t really seen much of the new Jean Grey (played by Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner) so far, so here’s hoping Dark Phoenix can make the emotional impact it needs to as Sansa - sorry, Jean - unleashes her rage in the new film.
Release date: 7th June 2019
It may follow the same beats of the first (and best) MiB film, but this fourth instalment has oodles of star power in two charismatic leads who look great in a suit: Thor: Ragnarok co-stars Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth. Based in London, the two Agents (M and H, respectively) are tasked with rooting out a mole in the MiB organisation.
We really hope this is as fun as it looks.
Release date: 14th June 2019
Series three of Stranger Things is heading to the small screen on the 4th of July, and the short teaser trailer above doesn't really give anything away other than eight episode titles and that it will take place in 1985.
We're guessing more Demogorgons.
Release date: 4th July 2019 (Netflix)
Next on Disney's live-action remake list is this beloved classic. It boasts an impressive voice cast - Beyoncé, Donald Glover, Chiwetel Ejiofor, John Oliver, James Earl Jones (returning as Mufasa, naturally) - and we can't deny that the CGI looks mighty impressive.
But the teaser trailer also looks very familiar, with some scenes practically shot-for-shot identical with the original 1994 film. We hope the final film has a surprise up its sleeves, because right now we're wondering - what's the point?
Release date: 16th July 2019
With Legion, Logan and The Gifted entertaining audiences, the X-Men series expands further with The New Mutants.
Described as a superhero horror film, The New Mutants features five young mutants coming to terms with their powers inside a secret facility. Can they escape and save themselves?
With the filmmakers citing Stephen King and haunted-house movies as touchstones, The New Mutants may boast as many shocks as it does thrills.
Release date: 2nd August 2019
Based on the books by Eoin Colfer, this Kenneth Branagh adaptation brings to life the story of a 12-year-old criminal genius who kidnaps a fairy to help search for his missing father.
Mixing real-word danger with the magical fairy realm, the books are full of fun misadventures that the movie will hopefully capture.
Release date: 9th August 2019
An animated spy flick starring the voice talents of Will Smith and Tom "Spider-Man" Holland? Yes.
The spy film taking an unexpected turn by having its lead - Lance Sterling, world's greatest spy and all-round super-suave cool guy thanks to being voiced by Will Smith - turn into a pigeon? Yes, a hundred times yes.
Hilarious hijinks ensue as pigeon-spy Sterling and Walter Beckett (his mini-Q, voiced by Holland) navigate their way around nefarious plots, amorous pigeons and try to save the world.
Release date: 13th September 2019
An angel and a demon work together to stop the Apocalypse from happening because they simply like living on Earth too much.
Add in an assortment of righteous angels, sneering demons, a witch, a witchfinder, the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and four young kids and their dog - and you have a delightful, zany, eons-spanning story from the minds of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Adapted from the cult-favourite 1990 novel Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the six-part series boasts David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm, Josie Lawrence, Nick Offerman and Frances McDormand amongst its starry cast. We can’t wait for this one.
Release date: 2019 (Amazon Prime Video, BBC Two)
Sick of superheroes? Looks like the world of Amazon's The Boys are too, where the superhero industry is picture-perfect and wield absolute power.
But all's not what it seems, and the CIA hires a group of superhero-hating human vigilantes to take the heroic (or are they?) supers down. Based on Garth Ennis's satirical comic series, this looks like a fun take on the Marvel/DC tropes and the many, many superhero-based shows and films that are all the rage now.
Also, it has Karl Urban in it - how can we resist?
Release date: 2019 (Amazon Prime Video)
Farmageddon: A Shaun the Sheep Movie
One for all the parents and little ones (and/or fans of Aardman Animation).
An adorable alien crash-lands near Mossy Bottom Farm and Shaun is elated with the alien-powered hijinks. But he also needs to help her avoid getting caught by the authorities and get her back to her home planet to stop Farmageddon.
We love it already.

PREVIEW: THE SCOTTISH PLAY AT THE FORE OF THEATRE ROYAL’S BEWITCHING NEW SEASON
Posted on March 19th 2018 by Whats on Northeast
Ade Edmondson in Vulcan VII – 8-13 Oct ‘18
Northern Ballet’s The Three Musketeers – 17-20 Oct ‘18
Tosca – 23, 25 & 27 Oct ‘18
Macbeth – 13-17 Nov ‘18
Our spectacular season opens with Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (or “The Trocks”) playing 2-3 October ‘18. Loved world-wide for their sassy spoofs and hilarious homages to classical ballet, the company features 18 super-athletic male dancers who make every performance froth frivolously with a unique concoction of tutus and testosterone. With their immaculate technique, daring physicality, and impeccable comic timing the Trocks create a show unlike any other.
From tutus of one kind to another as in October dance fans will delight in the return of the acclaimed Northern Ballet with its multi-award winning production The Three Musketeers (17-20 Oct ‘18). As audiences are transported to 17th century Paris, they will witness the classic tale unfold in a whirlwind of adventure, romance and intrigue, accompanied by Sir Malcolm Arnold’s sweeping score played live. This dazzling production, nominated for Best New Dance Production at the Olivier Awards 2008 and Winner of the Best Dance award at the M.E.N Theatre Awards 2007, does Dumas’ rip-roaring adventure proud.
Opera North are incorporating a dance number into their double bill The Rite of Spring / Gianni Schicchi (16 March ’19) next year, pairing Stravinsky’s revolutionary pagan ritual ballet (a collaboration with Phoenix Dance Theatre) with Puccini’s comic masterpiece in which scheming relatives squabble over an inheritance.
The Opera North season in March ’19 offers a rich programme indeed, also featuring Mozart’s enchanting coming-of-age opera The Magic Flute (12-15 March ‘19) and Janacek’s deeply tragic but wildly beautiful Katya Kabanova (14 March ‘19). A little closer to hand though is the famed Opera company’s exhilarating Autumn 2018 season featuring high octane thriller Tosca by Puccini (23,25,27 Oct ‘18) – an intense story of lust and love, of cruelty and self sacrifice accompanied by some of opera’s best-loved, most recognisable music.
To counteract the intensity of Tosca comes Lehar’s greatest hit, the joyous The Merry Widow (24 & 26 Oct ‘18) telling the story of young, beautiful and stupendously wealthy widow Hanna in her search for a new husband. Parisian sensuality meets Viennese sophistication in a night of glorious music and dazzling choreography.
Macbeth, renowned as an unlucky show and so, for the superstitious, only ever referred to as “the Scottish play”, famously visited the Theatre Royal in November 1899, and played on the night the theatre was gutted by fire – 23 November 1899. One hundred and nineteen years later, almost to the day, this devastatingly good Shakespeare tragedy returns in a brand new production from creators of War Horse and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, The National Theatre. Visiting 13 – 17 Nov ’18, fresh from a sold out run in London, this epic and visually daring production propels Shakespeare’s classic title into a postapocalyptic world of anarchy and uncertainty. When shall we three meet again…..?
From classic thriller to modern whodunit, March ’19 sees a visit from the chilling new stage play by no.1 best-selling author Peter James The House on Cold Hill (18-23 March ’19). Following the overwhelming, sell out stage success of Not Dead Enough, The Perfect Murder and Dead Simple, which have all recently proved huge hits with Theatre Royal audiences, The House on Cold Hill is a modern day ghostly thriller that will send shivers down the spine.
For those looking for drama with a lighter touch, hilarious new comedy Vulcan VII brings a star cast to the Theatre 8-13 October’18. Written by and co-starring Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer (Comic Strip Presents..., Filthy, Rich & Cap Flap, The Young Ones), this rip-roaring new comedy takes a look at the actor’s life through the eyes of Gary Savage and Hugh Delavois – ex-RADA students now in their sixties holed up in an Icelandic wasteland, on the set of a fantasy movie. Sparks fly inside the trailer as old wounds are opened and outside things are not going to plan either: the director’s gone AWOL, the catering truck’s on the wrong side of the of a ravine, and the volcanic activity is growing more and more lively by the minute…
From new comedy to classic, as October brings a glorious show which pays homage to icons of British comedy Morecambe and Wise in An Evening with Eric and Ern on Sun 14 Oct 2018. Olivier Award-nominated duo Jonty Stephens and Ian Ashpitel star in a show full of those famous comedy sketches, most loved routines, songs… and of course a musical guest!
The final entry for the new season is an all-round family favourite, the musical extravaganza of Leslie Bricusse’s Doctor Dolittle (12-23 Feb ’19). Based on the popular 1967 film and from the producers of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the show is a delightful animal adventure featuring stunning visual puppetry. Audiences can join the eccentric Doctor and his exotic menagerie of friends on an exciting journey to find the Giant Pink Sea Snail, which holds the secret to life and making the world a happier place!

Memphis men, women shine in AAC soccer
(Source: WMC Action News 5)
By Jarvis Greer | October 1, 2019 at 7:43 AM CDT - Updated October 1 at 7:43 AM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - On the pitch, four members of the 11th-ranked Memphis women’s soccer team earned weekly Honors in the American Athletic Conference.
Sophomore Forward Clair Abrey is the league’s Offensive Player of the Week after scoring both goals in the U of M’s 2-1 win at 16th-ranked USF on Sunday in Tampa.
Freshman Maya Jones earned Rooke of the Week for assisting on one of the scores.
Junior Elizabeth Moberg is the AAC’s Goalkeeper of the Week, and Sophomore Carolyn Duncan is on the Honor Roll. The Tiger women next host UConn on Thursday at the Murphy Athletic Complex.
On the men’s side, Sam Ashton and Christoforos Kourtis were both named to the AAC Weekly Honor Roll. Ashton scored a pair of goals and an assist in Memphis’ two wins last week against St. Louis and Cincinnati. Kourtsis tallied two goals and two assists.
The Tiger men, now 6-2, stay on the Road at UConn on Friday.

Counter Model
Counters can be used for a huge array of applications. They can, for example, be used to count pulses from a sensor attached to a wheel to count the number of revolutions, which in turn can be used to calculate the speed of the wheel. Counters also can be used as digital clocks for different purposes. Another typical use of a digital counter is in central processing units (CPUs), where a certain kind of counter (program counters, or PCs) is used as a way for the CPU to walk through program instructions, one by one, from a memory. The model in this example consists of a 4-bit asynchronous up-counter that is fed with a clock pulse of 1 Hz. Below, you can see a diagram of the model.
Diagram view of the model. The counter in the diagram is fed by a clock pulse and an enable signal that tells the counter when to count and when to pause.
Flip-flops or latches are used as basic components in digital circuitry and work as a kind of memory that stores the state of one bit. By using multiple flip-flops, it is possible to construct digital state machines. A binary counter is basically a state machine that just cycles through its states for each cycle of a clock signal. The JK flip-flop is considered to be the most universal flip-flop design and can be used as different kinds of flip-flops just by adjusting how the input to the J and K terminals is done. In this example, the flip-flops are used with a toggling function, which means that the output is changed for each completed clock cycle. This is accomplished by feeding ones into both the J and K pins of the flip-flops. By putting only zeros on all the J and K terminals, the output will never change, regardless of the input. This makes it suitable to connect all the J and K terminals as an enable signal for the circuit.
Diagram view of the counter model.
The counter in this example is a 4-bit asynchronous counter based on JK flip-flops. The flip-flops are connected with both their J and K terminals to the enable pin, putting them in "toggle mode". The flip-flop to the left, producing the Q0 signal, will change its output state for each falling edge of the clock signal, for example, a CPU clock. Since the output toggles for each falling edge of the clock, the clock toggles twice for each toggle of the output.
This diagram from a simulation shows how the logic levels of the four bits change over time. The enable signal goes from 0 to 1 after one second.

Allen Vigneron catholics detroit gay marriage gays personal salvation pope francis pt go to hell
If You Don’t Sufficiently Hate Gay Marriage We’ll Drop You In Lake Of Fire, Detroit Archbishop Basically Says
Wonkette Jr.
How much fun is it having this new liberal pansy-ass Pope with his "public transit" and his "the poor are human" stuff like a common wimp? Just kidding! This is not "fun." This has at least one U.S. archbishop very concerned about maintaining the Church's manly image. That, we think, is the only conceivable reason we can think of to explain Detroit Archbishop Allen Vigneron's recent panicky proclamation that Catholics who believe gays have a right to civil marriage should not take Communion. That should butch it up a notch!
From the Detroit Free Press
The archbishop of Detroit, Allen Vigneron, said Sunday that Catholics who receive Communion while advocating gay marriage would "logically bring shame for a double-dealing that is not unlike perjury."
Someone forgot to take his butt plug out before breakfast! It is worth remembering in this instance that the Catholic Church does not bother to deny communion to those cafeteria Catholics who disagree with the Church's position on issues like universal health care (the last Pope called it the "moral responsibility of nations") or the death penalty or immigration, and that the Catholic Church gives communion to, ha ha, Newt Gingrich.
Isn't that weird? How sometimes a person's secular political opinion can be in conflict with the Church's teachings and it's no big deal, while other times it is a reason to deny someone a sacrament that is, according to the Church, "morally necessary for salvation"? It's like Archbishop Vigneron is basically saying: "If you believe that gay couples wed in a Unitarian ceremony should be afforded the legal protections of civil marriage, then you can literally go to hell." Literally isn't used in that Chris Traeger ironical way. This is the literal use of literally.
Let us close this post with a prayer to Cthulhu: We pray that in Your infinite wisdom, You bless Pope Francis with the guidance to look upon the U.S. Conference of Bishops as the George Constanza of theologians. We further pray that You give Francis the strength to hoist sacramental wine-filled water balloons over his Pope balcony that he may drop them on Allen Vigneron when next he visits Rome, and that someone films this, so it may become the greatest gif in the history of the Internet. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Happy Hour w/ On The Sun at Woodlands Tavern
Tue March 31, 2020 6:00 pm
On The Sun crafts sleek and modern groove music steeped in classic and contemporary soul, funk, Americana, jazz, and psychedelia. This simmering soul juggernaut recently completed the first of several national tours it has planned for 2018 in support of their new album "Gratuity Not Included". The recent trek found the band playing alongside artists such as Lisa Loeb, Robert Randolph, Michael Franti and many more onboard the 4-day floating music festival cruise Sail Across The Sun. They also played a string of intimate Sofar Sounds shows in the midwest and east coast and made some special appearances in Austin, Texas at SXSW and Red Gorilla Music Festival.
Gratuity Not Included is an artistic milestone for the band, as it represents the best capture yet of the span of On The Sun’s artistic continuum, showcasing its always-shifting expanded lineups with added horns, synthesizers, and lush female guest vocalists. It also represents a new era of assured artistry after a period of tireless touring and soul searching. The self-produced seven-track collection, favors full band live on-the-floor takes as the core foundation to construct songs, and then reimagines these recordings with soulful and tasteful experimental studio wizardry.
Select standouts from the album include “Amen,” “Don’t Give Back,” and “Imagining You.” The fractured minimalist funk of “Amen” sprung to life from a loose-limbed jam that with sleek production touches veers into lush, gospel-tinged modern R&B while “Don’t Give Back” conjures the steamy emotionality of 70’s soul but with a modern, sleepy–eyed behind-the-beat groove. The horn and organ driven soul jam, “Imaging You,” evokes late-period Motown Stevie Wonder, playfully contrasting uplifting musicality with lovelorn lyrics. When listening to it you may find yourself euphorically dancing around the room singing along to lyrics of masochistic heartbreak.
Up next, On The Sun will issue a vinyl version of Gratuity Not Included, a collection of live tracks from recent tours, and another as-yet untitled collection of new music in 2019. A New Year’s Eve show at the Bisbee Royale Theater in AZ will kick off their first ever west coast tour in January of 2019, and an extensive tour is in the works for March.

Independent PAC to make final decision on Bulga underground mine modification
World Coal, Friday, 09 December 2016 14:45
The independent Planning Assessment Commission (PAC) will now make the final decision on an administrative modification application for the Bulga underground mine near Singleton, New South Wales, Australia.
The New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment has recommended approval of the administrative modification, which proposes to provide greater consistency between the noise and biodiversity conditions for the opencast and underground operations at the Bulga mining complex, which have separate project approvals.
The new conditions require the company to increase the number of noise monitoring reports and be subjected to independent environmental audits on both the opencast and underground mine operations.
The Department found the conditions could be modified without any adverse environmental impacts and provide greater consistency between the opencast and underground mine approvals.
A spokesperson from the Department said modifying the conditions would also clarify the mining complex’s Biodiversity Management Plan and compliance commitments.
“The Department carefully considered noise and biodiversity, nearby residences and the environment finding the conditions could be modified with no extra impacts,” the spokesperson said. “Consistent conditions will allow for better coordination of noise monitoring reports and independent environmental audits between the open cut and underground operations.”
“The PAC is an important part of the NSW planning system ensuring major developments are subject to expert, independent review and assessment.”
“The PAC will now consider the Department’s report and recommended conditions to make a final decision.”
Bulga Coal Management Pty Ltd’s modification application was published on the Department’s website in July 2016 and relevant government agencies were also contacted for feedback.
The PAC will determine this project due to a reportable political donation disclosure received from the company.

Football ticket agent saves 8-year-old's birthday
A mother who bought expensive tickets to a football game for her 8-year-old son was heartbroken when she learned they were fake. Kademn Todd,8, is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, and his mother spent around $800 when the team came to Denver to play the Broncos. But a ticket agent with a heart of gold turned what could have been a disaster into an unforgettable birthday.

Week In Review: Sexual Misconduct, Tax Reform, Prison Panel
Friday, November 17, 2017, 8:00am
More people are accusing political leaders of sexual misconduct. Meanwhile the United States House approved a tax reform measure, and a Wisconsin U.S. Senator says he won’t vote for the tax bill in his chamber. Plus black lawmakers want more prominence on a panel considering whether to build a new prison. We discuss those and other political stories in the Week in Review.
Fellow lawmakers are calling for an ethics review of U.S. Senator Al Franken. Thursday a woman accused the Democrat from Minnesota of groping her. The allegations come amid calls from Republican leadership for Alabama candidate Roy Moore to drop out of the running for U.S. Senate. President Donald Trump is silent. Eight women now say Moore sexually harassed or assaulted them.
Questions about tax reform are bubbling up in the U.S. Senate. Republican Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin says he won’t vote for the bill, because it advantages big business without helping small businesses. Thursday afternoon members of the U.S. House of Representatives approved a version of the tax bill.
Four black Wisconsin lawmakers want to join a talk force weighing whether the state needs a new prison. The four Democrats wrote a letter to State Assembly leader Robin Vos asking him to appoint at least one of them to the task force. They argue for a spot on the panel, because they say black people are disproportionately incarcerated in Wisconsin.
Should a Wisconsin panel reviewing prison reform include people of color? Are you in favor of the tax bill working its way through Congress? Should Roy Moore bow out of Alabama’s U.S. Senate Race, and what should happen with U.S. Senator Al Franken? Email ideas@wpr.org, post on the Ideas Network Facebook page, or tweet @wprmornings.

Oscar Predictions: Best Documentary Feature
Posted on January 30, 2013 by Zac Petrillo
Best Documentary Feature Nominees:
Searching for Sugar Man (dir. Malik Bendjelloul)
How to Survive a Plague (dir. David France)
The Invisible War (dir. Kirby Dick)
5 Broken Cameras (dir. Emad Burnat, Guy Davidi)
The Gatekeepers (dir. Dror Moreh)
Almost all of the categories are difficult this year, but Best Documentary poses a particularly interesting dilemma. You can usually count on one film being a crowd favorite amongst a list of other more confrontational, political, or otherwise trying films. Last year Undefeated was, in hindsight, the obvious choice for this reason. This year, the bulk of the material falls in the latter category with only one – Searching for Sugar Man – seeming to be the former. Yet, even Sugar Man seems too narrow to take the prize. In reality, each of these film has a legitimate shot to win.
Searching for Sugar Man tells a fairly focused story about a mysterious musician named Rodriguez, who, after seeing his career fizzle out before it became much of a career at all, unknowingly turns into an inspiration for the South African revolution. The doc tells of a small group of South African’s quests to find Rodriguez. While Searching for Sugar Man is the current favorite, it lacks a certain emotional wallop that tends to draw non doc-watchers in. In some respects, the power of the picture is that it matches the easy going nature of its main subject. However, without a big picture issue to speak of, except perhaps a humble approach to poverty, the film might be seen as small. In it’s favor, the material here is safe, compelling, and almost impossible to dislike. Similar to likely Best Pic winner, Argo, the film has enough burning under the surface to be smart, but it’s not aggressive enough to rub people the wrong way.
The Invisible War and How to Survive a Plague suffer the opposite problem as Searching for Sugar Man. Each take on enormous and critical contemporary issues with large casts of characters to talk us through them. The focus for each of these films comes only from the call to action that their main agendas pose. In both cases, I was personal distanced by a lack of driving action or specific characterization. However, these films are emotional freight trains, that are difficult not to be affected by. How to Survive a Plague has a confrontational passion that’s admirable and rarely seen, especially in that it allows its subjects to dictate the point of view. Like Searching for Sugar Man, it’s difficult to dislike How to Survive a Plague, however, Sugar Man remains the safer choice for displaying a less divisive subject.
The Gatekeepers and 5 Broken Cameras have each gained a great deal of traction from festival communities. They’re niche, passionate, and foreign. To me, these might feel too much like “Documentaries” (with a capital “D”) to a voter base that tends more towards fiction. Seeing as the subject matters are challenging, I can’t see either of these projects garnering enough votes to offset their inevitable detractors. That said, both films do have strong enough followings to surprise.
WILL WIN: Searching for Sugar Man
COULD WIN: How to Survive a Plague
SHOULD WIN: How to Survive a Plague

Yarmuth to McConnell: Tell Our Constituents the Truth about Health Law
WASHINGTON – In a speech on the House Floor today, Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3) took on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s ridiculous and disingenuous claim that Kentucky could retain the benefits of Kynect – the state exchange created under the law – if the Affordable Care Act was repealed.
Since Kynect was launched in October, nearly 415,000 Kentuckians – roughly 1 in 10 – have gained new coverage. Three-fourths of new enrollees reported not having insurance prior to enrollment. In its first six months, Kynect helped cover nearly 50 percent of the state’s previously uninsured population.
Repealing the health reform law would eliminate coverage for nearly every Kentuckian who gained coverage through Kynect. Repeal would reverse the Medicaid expansion, under which more than 300,000 Kentuckians have gained coverage. It would end federal premium assistance, making private plans currently offered through Kynect unaffordable for most Kentucky families. And it would allow insurance companies to once again deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions.
“McConnell’s claim that we can keep Kynect and still repeal the Affordable Care Act is as absurd as it is disingenuous, and our constituents deserve to know that,” Yarmuth said.

Full text of Yarmuth’s remarks:
Mr. Speaker, Kentucky has been a national model for the Affordable Care Act. In the first six months of Kynect, the state exchange created by the law, we enrolled nearly 415,000 Kentuckians in new health coverage. That’s 1 in 10 Kentuckians and nearly half our previously uninsured population.
But rather than help inform his constituents of life-saving insurance options now available to them, Senator Mitch McConnell has spent the past four years working to repeal that coverage while misleading Kentuckians about the law.
Now he’s suggesting Kynect’s overwhelming success can remain – even if he succeeds in repealing the law that created it. That couldn’t be more disconnected from the truth.
If the Affordable Care Act is repealed, more than 300,000 Kentuckians covered through the law’s expansion of Medicaid would lose their coverage. Insurers would no longer be required to cover pre-existing conditions, and private plans through Kynect would become unaffordable for most Kentucky families.
Mr. Speaker, health reform has been so successful in Kentucky that Mitch McConnell now says we should keep Kynect. But his claim that we can keep Kynect and still repeal the Affordable Care Act is as absurd as it is disingenuous, and our constituents deserve to know that.
